[Verse 1]
|             D| A  
  Jimmy tries to kick his football
|                Bm|             F#m| G  
  Over the fence his father built for him
   |        G      A|     D   D/A|  D   G   F#m  Em  
  Before he moved away
|               D| A  
  So that he could see if Peter
|            Bm|           F#m| G  
  sitting by his tree and if he would
|        G         A|     D   D/A|  D   G   F#m  Em  
  like to come and play.
[Verse 2]
|              D| A  
  Jimmy kicks the ball over the
|                 Bm|            F#m| G  
  fence and hears the voice of Peter say:
|             G         A|     D   D/A|  D   G   F#m  Em  
  "Why did you kick the ball?"
|            D| A  
  Jimmy answers: "So that I can
|           Bm|             F#m| G  
  be a football star when I grow up."
    |      G         A|          D| D  
  And Peter stands up tall    and tells him Jimmy,
[Chorus]
|           G| A  
  If you ever drown inside
    |            F#m|     Bm  A  
  the madness in your brain
|            G| A  
  I will try to keep you normal,
|            F#m| Bm  
  try to keep you sane 
             A|    G     D  
  but please remain
   |            Em      A|     D   D/A|  D   G   F#m  Em  
  As young as you are today
[Verse 3]
|                 D| A  
  Jimmy says: You're wrong, if you grow 
|             Bm|           F#m| G  
  Up then you can be a football star
    |        G    A|     D   D/A|  D   G   F#m  Em  
  And stay up all night
|            D| A  
  You can go to work and always 
|                Bm|             F#m| G  
  Eat the things you want and drive a car
   |        G         A|    D| D  
  As much as you like    and Peter tells him:
[Chorus]
|           G| A  
  If you ever drown inside
    |            F#m|     Bm  A  
  the madness in your brain
