1. You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky,

               D                                               A

    and taught me how to use it as the years went by,

           D                                                A

    to tie up all your problems and to make them look neat,

                D                                   E

    and then to sell them to the people in the street.

2. I saw right through the way you started teaching me now,

             D                                                A

    so someday soon you could get to use me somehow.

           D                                                            A

    I thank you very much, you know you've been very kind,

            D                                     E

    but I'd better move along before you change my mind.

3. You taught me all those things the way you'd like them to be,

           D                                 A

    but I'd like to see if other people agree.

           D                                  A

    It's all very interesting the way you disguise,

             D                                       E

    but I'd like to see the world through my own eyes.
