[Intro] Bm [Verse 1]
Bm       F#m      D      Bm
All the world is like a beach ball

        A        G        Bm
Out in space, between the waves

        A        D        Bm
In the hands of laughing babies

        A         G       Bm   C#m D
All the world is gumball shaped

D         Bm D
Hello moon

D                  Bm D
Hello stars and sky

D                 Bm D
Heaven, won't you

D
Answer me why?
[Chorus]
C#m         D         E       G
I ring the bell ‘til someone listens

Bm     D                Bm
Look upon this burning city

          A          G     Bm
Victory, smiles the wicked man

                  A         G     Bm
Does he feel the weight of every finger

        A       G     Bm
Hanging on his heavy hand?

Bring me gold and bring me wisdom

Dm                E
Give me scars to bring me grace

   A                  D     Dm
A wicked wit and when I use it

               E                  A
Dash the hopes of those who hate me

A              D                E
Give me love, big as a mountain
[Solo] E Bm G D F#m A G D F#m Bm G D F#m G Dm F# [Chorus]

I ring the bell ‘til someone listens

Bm         A     G           Bm
Melt your words right to my skin

                    D         Bm
And your smile, my flesh and bones

D        A                 Bm
From the mountains I will sing you

              A        G     Bm
Through your veins my river flows

  Bm        D         E       G
I ring the bell ‘til someone listens

Bring me gold and bring me wisdom

Give me scars to bring me grace

   A              D
A wicked wit and when I use it

Dm             E                 A
Dash the hopes of those who hate me

Give me love, big as a mountain, oh oh woh
