Bb Dm Eb Bb
I should have known you'de bid me farewell.
Dm
There's a lesson to be learned from this
Eb F7
And I learned it very well.
Eb F Bb Gm
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea.
Cm Dm
If I never hear your name again
Eb D7
It's all the same to me.
Gm
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Cm
Yeah, the worst is over,
F Eb Bb Gm F7
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red rubber ball.
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
For you, I'm just an ornament,
Something for your pride.
Always running, never caring,that's the life you live.
Stolen minutes of your time
Were all you had to give
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red rubber ball.
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
I've got my life to live
And I don't need you at all.
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end.
I bought my tickets with my tears,
That's all I'm gonna spend.
And I think it's gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red rubber ball.

Gm F7 Bb
