Squeeze - Jumping
(Difford/Tilbrook)
Appeared on the 1993 Some Fantastic Place CD single.
 
[Intro]
E | E | E | E |
 
[Verse 1]
G A G A
Jumping for joy like a dolphin in the sea
G A G A
So engrossed in the words that she was saying to me
G A G A
We were hanging like shirts drying in the midday sun
G A E
Her fragile heart was saved, sadness had been overrun
D G
Her heart was so open, there was no lock and key
D G
So I walked inside, found a place just for me
 
E | E | E | E |
 
[Verse 2]
G A G A
Jumping for joy on a trampoline of change
G A G A
Up and down all the time, like a bird trapped in a cage
G A G A
We were mewling like socks that were lost in the dryer
G A E
But somehow we survived from the scrapheap, and the fire
D G
Her face could melt butter and turn dark clouds away
D G
I was jumping for joy when she plugged in to play
 
[Chorus]
A Bm
Like the crickets in the grass and the frogs in the pond
A D Bm
We were jumping for joy, knowing nothing could go wrong
G D
We were jumping (na na-na na)
G D
We were jumping (na na-na na)
G D
We were jumping (na na-na na)
Em E
Jumpiiiiing
 
E | Em E7 | Em
 
[Verse 3]
A B A B
Jumping for joy in the morning by the bed
A B A B
Looking out of the window, seeing doves upon the shed
A B A B
We brewed up some coffee and opened up the oven
A B F#m
Well she stood and got dressed, she's as bright as a button
E A
Her life was dirtier than mine and deeper too
E A
We were like peas in a pod with nothing to do
 
[Chorus]
B C#m
Like the crickets in the grass and the frogs in the pond
B E
We were jumping for joy, knowing nothing could go wrong
A E
We were jumping (na na-na na)
A E
We were jumping (na na-na na)
A E
We were jumping (na na-na na)
A E A E
Jumpiiiiing
A E A E
Jumpiiiiing
 
[Outro]
