[Verse 1]
ToAmday I Gwent and Cbought myFself a Ambottle
Like we used to Gdo, reminded me of Amyou.
ToAmday I Gsaw a Ctrain roll Fby the rAmiver
Blowing off its Gsteam, reminded me of Amme
That's Gwhen I threw the bottle in the Amriver,
That's Gwhen I started running for the trAmain.G  C  Em  
There's Amnothing Gthat you Cneed I Fcan't deAmliver
Carry me aGway, carry me aAmway
[Verse 2]
Think it's Amseven or Gnine CaliCfornia Ftime
Whoever Amsaid it was a small world was either a liar or a Gfool,
'cos it's not Amtrue.
And any Ampromise we Gmake is as Ceasy to Fbreak
As the Amplastic people on the wedding cake
So says Gyou, but you know "I Amdo"
