[Verse 1]
F C
You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky
F C
And taught me how to use it as the years went by
F C
To tie up all your problems and make them look neat
F G
And then to sell them to the people in the street
[Chorus 1]

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
C F C (2/4: A# B C)
You taught me all I know and I'll never look back

[Verse 2]
F C
I saw right through the way you started teaching me now
F C
So someday soon you could get to use me somehow
F C
I thank you very much, you know you've been very kind
F G
But I'd better move along before you change my mind
[Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]
F C
You taught me all those things the way you'd like them to be
F C
But I'd like to see if other people agree
F C
It's all very interesting the way you disguise
F G
But I'd like to see the world through my own eyes
[Chorus 3]
