[Intro]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
[x4]
[Verse 1]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
He stands
Bb Bbsus4 F/A Gm
Towering over me beside my bed
C7/E F/Eb
Losing his head
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Tells me
Bb Bbsus4 Bb C D
I must take him seriously
D Gm D Eb Bb F/A Gm
Droning on, the usual way, he’s such a clever guy
Bb Eb Bb/F F Bb
Then I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
[Verse 2]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
He’s dressed
Bb Bbsus4 F/A Gm
In the striped pyjamas that I bought
C7/E F/Eb
Trousers too short
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Gives me
Bb Bbsus4 Bb C D
Of his small philosophy
D Gm D Eb Bb F/A Gm
Carries on the way he does, and me I get so tired
Bb Eb Bb/F F Bb
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
[Chorus]
Eb Cm F Bb
High and mighty his banner flies
Eb F7 Dm
A fool’s pride in his eyes
Eb Cm Gm/D D Gm Eb/Bb Bb
Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is…)
Eb Cm F Bb
All I see is a big balloon
Eb F7 Dm
Halfway up to the moon
Eb Cm Gm/D D Gm Gm/F
He’s wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
C7/E Bb/F
Of an eternal lie
F F7 Bb
So should I laugh or cry?
[Verse 3]
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Strange how
Bb Bbsus4 F/A Gm
Dangerously indifferent I have grown
C7/E F/Eb
Cold as a stone
Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
No more
Bb Bbsus4 Bb C D
Pain where there was pain before
D Gm D Eb Bb F/A Gm
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
Bb Eb Bb/F F Bb
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
[Chorus]
Eb Cm F Bb
High and mighty his banner flies
Eb F7 Dm
A fool’s pride in his eyes
Eb Cm Gm/D D Gm Eb/Bb Bb
Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is…)
Eb Cm F Bb
All I see is a big balloon
Eb F7 Dm
Halfway up to the moon
Eb Cm Gm/D D Gm Gm/F
He’s wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
C7/E Bb/F
Of an eternal lie
F F7 Bb
So should I laugh or cry?
