G#Maj CMaj
a late april day and it's sunny outside
G#Maj CMaj
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
G#Maj CMaj
and an an orange old man at the bottom
G#Maj Riff 1
wants to take her for a ride
G#Maj CMaj
as she slips and she tumbles the orange man mumbles
G#maj Cmaj
pennies crash down from the sky
G#Maj Cmaj
and he tells her he'll take her away where it's safe
G#Maj Riff 1
and of course it is a lie
G#maj Cmaj
she's a third the down and her skirts are yanked up
G#maj Cmaj
and her little girl cheeks start to wrinkle
G#maj Cmaj
but her smile is wide and her legs are spread wider
G#maj Cmaj
her hair growing long and her hips getting larger
G#maj
past getting brighter
G#maj Riff 1
light growing weaker....
G#maj Cmaj
she is halfway down now but the man is impatient
G#maj Cmaj
shakes change in his pocket he might have to wait but she's coming...
G#maj
she's coming...
G#majj
she's coming...
Cmin
who are you blaming?
G#maj
they're just playing!
Gmaj
that's a good one...
Cmin
who left the playground
G#maj Gmaj
a good decade before the bell rang?
G#maj Cmaj
as she starts to draw nearer the view becomes clearer
G#maj Cmaj
the splinters are painful but she doesn't feel it
G#maj Cmaj
the pennies were loaded and as they exploded
G#maj Riff 1
she starts to spin out of control...
G#maj Cmaj
her eyes are now closing her sleeves are unrolling
G#maj Cmaj
up past her head and her veins are all showing
G#maj Cmaj
not that she noticed she's thoroughly focused on
G#maj Cmaj
one old man who's laughing...
G#maj
who's laughing....
G#maj
who's laughing....
Cmin
dont' worry
G#Maj
i've got you
Cmin
don't worry
G#Maj
i've got you
Cmin
don't worry
G#Maj
i've got you
Cmin
don't worry
G#Maj
i've got you
Riff 1
Cmin G#maj Gmaj
the orangeman got you.....
G#Maj Cmaj
a late april day and it's sunny outside
G#Maj Cmaj
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
G#Maj Cmaj
and an orange old man at the bottom
G#Maj Riff 1
