A# A#sus4 A#    A#sus4
He       stands
A#       A#sus4  F            Gm
Towering over   me  beside my bed
            C7   F  
Losing his head
A#   A#sus4 A# A#sus4
Tells       me
A#     A#sus4   A# C    D
I must take him seriously
D       Gm      D      D#        A#      F     Gm
Droning on, the usual way, he's such a clever guy
A#      D#       A#      F        A#
Then I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

He's dressed
In the striped pyjamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives me
Of his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does, and me I get so tired
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

Chorus:
D#         Cm         F      A#
 High and mighty his banner flies
D#         F7           Dm
 A fool's pride in his eyes
D#         Cm            Gm      D      Gm        D#   A#
 Standing there on his toes to grow in size (All I see is.)
D#      Cm       F       A#
 All I see is a big balloon
D#        F7          Dm
 Halfway up to the moon
D#            Cm          Gm      D         Gm  Gm 
 He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
 C7            A# 
Of an eternal lie
F            F7        A#
So should I laugh or cry?

Strange how
Dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No more
Pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
