[Verse]
G                                 
Dear Mr. Good I'm writing to tell 
     C
you about my child
     G                          
He's in the fifth grade and very 
                             C
dangerous He thinks he's smarter 
than you and I
               G                   
and everybody else
         C

    G                           
So play him like a Maestro would 
          C
play a cheap violin
           G                     
Let him think he's the ringleader 
                              C    
then in mid-circus pull the rug out
               G
 from under him

[Chorus]

    F                  C       
My fear is that he's nearing the 
         G
third rail
     F            C             G
He's kneeling to another angry idol
           F             C    
And I can see it as his face is 
           G
getting pale
                  F  C         
That he's on his way out of this 
    G
world

[Verse]
       G                           
This sudden spat of insanity needs 
    C
a good fat dose of humility
      G                            
Otherwise a dictator will arise in 
  C                     G      C
class and rule by fear
       G                           
So, before he gets too old to know 
             C
what we're doing right now
    G                           
Before he gets too old to turn a 
        C                       G
deaf ear, turn it back my way

[Chorus]
     F                 C       
My fear is that he's nearing the 
         G
third rail
       F           C            G
He's kneeling to another angry idol
           F              C   
And I can see it as his face is 
           G
getting pale
           F    C         
Getting nowhere on no one's 
     G
referrals
           F    C         
Getting nowhere on no one's 
     G
referrals

             F C             G
He's on his way out of this world
             F C             G
He's on his way out of this world
             F C             G
He's on his way
