G
For all the small people,
          C
and the tall people
               G               D
For the dispossesed and the absurd

For all the brokenhearted,

and the recently departed

Mother Nature don't

draw straight lines

Broken moulds in a grand design

We're card carrying lifelong members
         D                   G
Of the union of different kinds

turning bigger deals

[Bridge]
      Em               Am
It's why the oak tree bends
        Em                  Am
in the wind that blows my friend
           Em            Am
And the river finds its end
        D
in the sea 'yes it does
