 Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be 
              Em                                             D6 
 but does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy 
             Em 
 or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg
      A/E 
 or a poor man much too proud to beg 
         C/E                D/E                   Em 
 or a page from a book that can't be read at all

 Can't you see by the way that they are talking 
       Em                                              D6 
 that it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking 
           Em  
 'cause they want to see your long legs flying 
 A/E
 go to the place where the earth meets the sky and 
 C/E                        D/E                        Em 
 don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all

 They won't be satisfied,

 till you're out of their sight 
 E7/D   E6/C#    E/B      E

 E7/D   E6/C#    E/B      E

     Em                                       D6 
 but you know one thing they don't, you won't give in

 'cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail 
  A/E                                          C/E 
 makes a million circles but you're gonna fail
