Intro 
     Ab                 Eb        Gm    Cm   Eb   Ab   Eb 
(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade) 
     Ab                 Eb        G 
(Hip hip hooray for the elephants on parade) 


Verse: 1 
Am 
   Take the gist of it and twist it 

'Til it makes you smile 
Eb 
And don't be scared if there's a snare 

Sometimes it takes a while 
G 
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth 
     Ab 
Don't you try to think about it 

No way to talk about it 


Pre-Chorus: 
Am                                                       Em 
   And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed 

Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away 
G                                               Ab 
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life 

That has been given to me 

Even though limitedly

   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh 
Ab            Eb                       Ab 
My my, been a long time comin' home 
           Eb         G           Cm 
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul 
                     Eb 
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now 
    Ab                   Eb 
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your 
    Ab                 Eb        Gm

Verse: 2 
Am 
   You're preaching to the Chorus 
                 Em 
Line alright for this whole time 
    Eb 
And I'm fine if I can 

Tell a lie about the minor crimes 
G 
I won't try to justify the reason why 
Ab 
I think that I'll never die is so preposterous 
    Am                                               Eb 
It's like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain 

Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane 
G                                           Ab 
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade 

They're gonna trample themselves 
              Fm 
They're gonna trample themselves

Bridge 
                 G 
I got the feeling that I wanna be alone with you 
                 C 
And I got the feeling that you 
      Eb                            Cm 
Might want to be alone with me too 

Take a finger and snap, just like that 
      Eb 
And I had to say hey baby let's go 
F 
And make it home for our show 
G 
Simple defragmentation gets us to the point at last 
                          Eb 
But no relaxing 'til they give us all our memory back 
Em 
Touche but they had the wherewithal 
   F                 G 
To take it all out of order anyway 
Gm                           G 
They can always make you pay up

And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
