[Verse 1]
   C           Am7         F
We made up the rules as we went

C              F           D7         G
That's how the bulk of the summer was spent

Em             Am       D
Wading through heather, lazing on limbs

F           C       Am       G
Wasting the day any way on a whim
[Verse 2]
C      Am7          F
Nobody saw him like me

  C           F             D7         G
A real jungle cat, not just fabric and string

Em         Am     D
Muscle and fiber, rustling fur

F           C        Am         G
It's all so hazy now I can't be sure
[Chorus 1]
         F        G
Was he a toy or a tiger

             C            Em    Am
Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer

    C7         F       G        Em   A7
And was it all real or did I pretend

        F           G   G7 C
I don't know but he was my friend
[Verse 3]
     C           Am7        F
He'd wait by the door after school

C             F             D7           G
I'd come home whistling and next thing I knew

        Em       Am        D
We were tumbling backward, hunter and prey

F             C            Am            G
Still nice to know someone missed me all day
[Chorus 2]
         F        G
Was he a toy or a tiger

           C         Em        Am
Partner in crime and trusted advisor

    C7         F       G        Em   A7
And was it all real or did I pretend

        F           G   G7 C
I don't know but he was my friend
[Bridge]
C7               F      Fm
   So what was a memory

               C
And what was a dream

    D7                      D
And what would it matter if it's all the latter

   Dm                   G
It still was the whole world to me
[Verse 4]
C             Am7          F
I thought I'd lost him one night

C              F           D7           G
Mom called his name and my dad held the light

       Em          Am     D
But he finally got found, asleep on the ground

  F               C            Am          G
I still taste the tears when I think of it now
[Chorus 3]
         F        G
Was he a toy or a tiger

             C            Em    Am
Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer

    C7         F       G        Em   A7
And was it all real or did I pretend

      F          G
All I know is he was my...

F                     Fm
Tender and toothsome, water balloon-some

C                     C7
Fly to the moon-some, Sunday cartoon-some

F
Real or pretend

   G   G7 C
He was my friend
