I've taken to leanin' these past few days 
G                        C/G 
A little too heavy on my walking cane 
Em             G 
And I'm afraid she's swingin' my way 
C/G 
That wrecking ball 
 
(Am7 - every verse) 
 
C/G             Dadd9 
Now with all my ducks in a row 
G               C/G 
With one pull I could let her go 
Em            G 
Not to lose, just to show  
Cadd9 
I'd catch em all 
 
C/G                      Dadd9 
Every man bears a burden, his own beast by the horns 
G                            C/G 
That he hides from the world when hes young and strong 
Em                          G 
Looking over his shoulders, half tethered and torn 
C/G 
Still standing tall 
 
C/G                      Dadd9 
And every year rolls on like a runaway train 
G                           C/G 
Every beast grows stronger as the pendulum swings 
Em          G 
To and fro, gone she goes 
C/G 
That wrecking ball

I've just seen that rock of ages 
G                      Cadd9 
I just held my saviors hand 
Em                      G 
We danced on the water, my head on her shoulders 
C/G 
She swore to never let me fall 
 
C/G                Dadd9 
And wouldn't time seem so kindly 
G                    C/G 
If every bright eyed girl could be 
Em              G 
More like you, and shelter me 
C/G                     Am 
From that wrecking ball 
Am              D/F# 
That wrecking ball
