[Verse 1]
AmSomeone and someone were Fdown by the pond
GLookin' for somethin' to Amplant in the lawn.
AmOut in the fields they were Fturnin' the soil
I'm Gsittin' here hopin' this Amwater will boil
When I Amlook through the window and Fout on the road
They're Gbringin' me presents and Amsaying hello.
[Chorus]
Singing Amwords, Fwords
Gbetween the lines of Amage.
AmWords, Fwords
Gbetween the lines of Amage.
[Instrumental]
Am   F   G   Emx14
[Verse 2]
AmIf I was a junkman sellinF' your cars,
GWashin' your windows and Amshinin' your stars,
AmThinkin' your mind was my owFn in a dream
GWhat would you wonder and Amhow would it seem?
AmLivin' in castles a Fbit at a time
The GKing started laughin' and Amtalkin' in rhyme.
[Chorus]
Singing Amwords, Fwords
Gbetween the lines of Amage.
AmWords, Fwords
Gbetween the lines of Amage.
[Outro]
Am   F   G   Emx10
