RED RUBBER BALL

Bb |Dm |Eb |Bb
I should have known you'd bid me farewell.

| |Dm
There's a lesson to be learned from this

|Eb |F7 | |
and I learned it very well

Eb |F
Now I know you're not

|Bb |Gm
the only starfish in the sea.

|Cm |Dm
If I never hear your name again

|Eb |D7
it's all the same to me.

|Gm | |
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Cm |
Yeah, the worst is over,

|F | |Eb |Bb

Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber
Ball.

Bb |Dm |Eb |Bb
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.

| |Dm |
For you I'm just an ornament,

Eb |F7 | |
Something for your pride.

Eb |F |
Always running, never caring,

Bb |Gm |
That's the life you live.

Cm |Dm
Stolen minutes of your time

|Eb |D7
were all you had to give.

|Gm | |
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Cm |
Yeah, the worst is over,

|F | |Eb |Bb

Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber
Ball.

|Bb |Dm |Eb |Bb
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.

| |Dm |
I've got my life to live and I

Eb |F7 |
don't need you at all.

|Eb |F |
The roller coaster ride we took is

Bb |Gm
nearly at an end.

|Cm |Dm
I bought my ticket with my tears,

|Eb |D7
that's all I'm gonna spend.

|Gm | |
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Cm |
Yeah, the worst is over,

|F | |Eb |Bb

Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber
Ball.
