[Verse 1]
G          C         Am        C
Here there floats an island of saints
  D                 G
Apprentice boys and girls
    C       Am         C
Say hi, to devils that waste their time
D        G         C           Am         C
And they fall when shoes don't fit them so well
D         G         C
Slip back pumps and lounges
     Am             C             D
It's where we go to cheer them on

[Chorus]
G             Em              C
Riders on the ride, won't you help me?
G                  Em      C
It's crowded and a bit too lonely
G            Em          C
Mirror balls and they're spinning
G           Em C
Happy and ascending
D     C
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
G         C          Am       C
All these words that line the page
D        G        C
Dye jobs fade, sunsets
Am                C            D
That we rent when we get bored with the
G         C
Pinstripe suits
  Am    C         D     G        C
Degrees admin and personnel will wink
    Am              C           D
Got lips and tigers in the past

[Chorus]
G             Em              C
Riders on the ride, won't you help me?
G                  Em      C
It's crowded and a bit too lonely
G            Em          C
Mirror balls and they're spinning
G           Em C
Happy and ascending
D     C
Yeah, yeah
