[Verse 1]
Am                       F
Someone and someone were down by the pond
G                        Am
Lookin' for somethin' to plant in the lawn.
Am                          F
Out in the fields they were turnin' the soil
    G                        Am
I'm sittin' here hopin' this water will boil
       Am                          F
When I look through the window and out on the road
        G                        Am
They're bringin' me presents and saying hello.
[Chorus]
        Am     F
Singing words, words
G                    Am
between the lines of age.
Am     F
Words, words
G                    Am
between the lines of age.

[Verse 2]
Am                       F
If I was a junkman sellin' your cars,
G                        Am
Washin' your windows and shinin' your stars,
Am                          F
Thinkin' your mind was my own in a dream
G                        Am
What would you wonder and how would it seem?
Am                  F
Livin' in castles a bit at a time
    G                         Am
The King started laughin' and talkin' in rhyme.
[Chorus]
        Am     F
Singing words, words
G                    Am
between the lines of age.
Am     F
Words, words
G                    Am
between the lines of age.
