Verse
B E C#m E
Here there floats an island of saints
F# B
Apprentice boys and girls
E C#m E
Say hi, to devils that waste their time
F# B E C#m E
And they fall when shoes don't fit them so well
F# B E
Slip back pumps and lounges
C#m E F#
It's where we go to cheer them on
[Chorus]
B G#m E
Riders on the ride, won't you help me?
B G#m E
It's crowded and a bit too lonely
B G#m E
Mirror balls and they're spinning
B G#m E
Happy and ascending
F# E
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
B E C#m E
All these words that line the page
F# B E
Dye jobs fade, sunsets
C#m E F#
That we rent when we get bored with the
B E
Pinstripe suits
C#m E F# B E
Degrees admin and personnel will wink
C#m E F#
Got lips and tigers in the past
[Chorus]
B G#m E
Riders on the ride, won't you help me?
B G#m E
It's crowded and a bit too lonely
B G#m E
Mirror balls and they're spinning
B G#m E
Happy and ascending
F# E
Yeah, yeah
