(VERSE) (A) He (D/A) (A) stands (D/A) (A) towering (D/A) over (E/G#bass) me beside my bed (F#m)
Losing his (B/D#bass) head (E/D)
(A) Tells (D/A) (A) me (D/A) (A) I must (D/A) take him (A) seri (B) ous (C#) ly
Droning on(F#m/C#bass) the (C#) usual way
He’s (A) such a (E/G#bass) clever guy (F#m)
(A) Then I (D/A) wonder should I laugh or cry (A) (D/A) (A) (D/A)
(VERSE) He’s (he’s) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me) all his small philosophy

And me I get so tired
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
(CHORUS) (D) High and (Bm) mighty his (E) banner (A) flies

(D) Standing (Bm) there on his (F#m/C#bass) toes to (C#) grow in size(F#m) (G/A) (A)
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He’s wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
(B/D#bass) Of an eternal lie (A/Ebass)
(D/E) So should I laugh or (A) cry (D/A)
(VERSE) Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
(CHORUS)
