Verse
C D/F#
I've taken to leaning, these past few days
G C
a little too heavy on my walking cane
Em G
cause I'm afraid shes's swinging my way
C
that wrecking ball.
C D/F#
Now with all my ducks in a row
G C
with one pull I could let 'em go
Em G
not to lose, just to show I
C
could catch them all.
C D/F#
But every man bears a burden, his own beast by the horns
G c
that he hides from the world when he's young and strong
Em G
looking over his shoulder, half tethered and torn,
C
still standing tall.
C D/F#
But every year rolls on like a runaway train
G C
every beast grows stronger as the pendulum swings
Em G
to and fro, and on she goes
C
that wrecking ball.
(Instrumental break) Play verse chords
C D/F#
I've just seen that rock of ages
G C
I've just held my saviors hands
Em G
we danced on the water with my head on her shoulder
C
she swore to never let me fall.
C D/F#
And wouldn't time seem so kindly
G C
if every bright eyed girl could be
Em G
more like you and shelter me
C Am
from that wrecking ball
D
that wrecking ball
C D/F# G C Em G C
