[Verse 1]
Dm7 C/D Like father like son Dm7 Not flesh nor fish nor bone C/D A red rag hangs from an open mouth Dm7 C/D Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle Dm7 C/D A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go G/A A All the kings horses and all the kings men G/A A Could never put a smile on that face
[Verse 2]
Dm7 He’s a sly one, he's a shy one C/D Wouldn’t you be too Dm7 C/D Scared to be left all on his own Dm7 C/D Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with, the ugly duckling Dm7 C/D The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes G/A A All the while in perfect time G/A His tears are falling on the ground A But if you don't stand up you don't stand a chance
[Interlude]

[Middle 8]
F Am7 Dm7 Mirror, mirror on the wall Eb Bb F His heart was broken long before he ever came to you Am7 Dm7 Stop your tears from falling Eb Bb F The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night Am7 [ D ] All to see at night
[Interlude]
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D | (... at night) | D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D | They don’t have eyes
[Verse 3]
Dm7 C/D In season, out of season Dm7 C/D What's the difference when you don't know the reason Dm7 C/D In one hand bread, the other a stone Dm7 C/D The hunter enters the forest G/A A All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman’s horn G/A A By the look of this one you’ve not got much to fear
[Verse 4]
Dm7 C/D Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening Dm7 C/D Come to match my skill to yours Dm7 C/D Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now Dm7 C/D I am a friend; I'd really like to play with you G/A A Making noises my little furry friend would make G/A A I’ll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack A [ D ] You better watch out ... You better watch out

[Middle 8]
F Am7 Dm7 Walking home that night Eb Bb F The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder Am7 Dm7 When suddenly it stopped Eb Bb F I opened up the sack; all that I had: a pool of bubbles and tears Am7 [ D ] Just a pool of tears
[Interlude]
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D | (... of tears) | D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D A/D | Just a pool of tears
[Coda]
Bsus4 B F#m All in all you are a very dying race A E Placing trust upon a cruel world B You never had the things you thought you should have had F#m And you'll not get them now A And all the while in perfect time E/B B Your tears are falling on the ground
