CHORUS
C C/B Am7
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I?m tossing up punchlines that were never there
A9 D2
I've watched the sun spot silent
A9 D2
from your eyes
A9 D2
all the sights that I have seen
A9 D2
I can't believe that
A9 D2
I believed I wish that you could see
A9 D2
Desert need no cloud in the summer zest
A9 D2
there is nothing up my sleeve
C C9M/B Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs,
C C9M/B Am
I'm tossing out punchlines that were never there
C C9M/B Am
over my shoulder a piano falls,
G
chrashing to the ground.
A9 D2
and all this talk of time
A9 D2
talk is fine
A9 D2
but I don't want to stay around
A9 D2
why can't we pat some on
A9 D2
just close your eyes and sleep sweet dreams
A9 D2
in the place on offing
C C9M/B Am
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs,
C C9M/B Am

chrashing to the ground.

Am C G
spoons, I'm keeping flowers in full
Am C G D C
bloom, I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
A9 D2
I want the hummingbirds to dance in their
A9 D2
sweetest dreams of you
A9 D2
look into the stars
A9 D2
look into your eyes
