[Verse 1]
(Check it out!)
EI won't let anyone have mercy until you bring me down
E7Pretty little thing came up behind me
Twist and twirl, she damn near blind me
Then she smiled as she took my crownE7  
EI chased that pretty little thing all the way up the mountain
Just to see what I could see, what I could Esee
EI saw her standing by a flagpole, guess what she said to E7me
[Chorus]
E"You're chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now?
(ALook down, heavFen's beloEw)
EPraising yesterday, dreaming of them better times
(AYou put 'em up on a thrCone, and I won't let Danyone have mercy B7until you bring 'em down")
EUntil you bring 'em downE7  E6  
[Post-Chorus]
EWhen I'd all but given up, my joy became a song
EFelt it in the desert air, I had it all along
[Verse 2]
ESee the fool's thirst, it led me up, and now I lead the devil down
EMy silver-lining scepter called the wind to arms, my feet don't touch the ground
EBlazing through the atmosphere on my brand new tiger-robot-wizard-shark
ETruth be told I love the view up here, should have seen it from the start
[Chorus]
E"You're chasing happy days, tell me are you closer now?
(ALook down, heavFen's beloEw)
EPraising yesterday, dreaming of them better times
(AYou put 'em up on a thrCone, and I won't let anDyone have mercAy until you bring 'em down")
ANo, no, no!
