    F#               B                    G#m        C#7
You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CVS
         F#                B                    G#m                  C#7
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
         F#                      B               G#m        C#7
And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
    F#              B                    G#m           C#7
But you can tell me everything and we’ll ride on that wave

Chorus:
         F#                B                G#m                     C#7
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
F#               B                 G#m                   C#7
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it’s like
          F#               B         G#m                C#7
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
F#/A#         B     G#m                         C#7
Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives

Dad hit you on the hand
Just for holding your chopsticks wrong
Then your Mom locked you in a shed
And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
But you're not alone, you can let it go
And just weep on my breast
And cover me with your tenderness
And that pain will pass

Chorus


F#    D#m     G#m   C#7 C#7/B
  We are the small fish
F#    D#m    G#m  C#7 C#7/B
  We swim together
F#     D#m      G#m  C#7 C#7/B
  No Prozac or Valium,  we’ll
F#      D#m      G#m  C#7 C#7/B
Face tsunamis together

Chorus
