Intro
[G] [C] [D/F#] [G] [C] [Em] [G] [C]
Verse
I've [C]taken to leaning, these p[D/F#]ast few days
a little [G]too heavy on my w[C]alking cane
[Em]cause I'm afraid shes's sw[G]inging my way
t[C]hat wrecking ball.
[C]Now with all my d[D/F#]ucks in a row
wi[G]th one pull I[C] could let 'em go
[Em]not to lose,[G] just to show I
[C]could catch them all.
[C]But every man bears a burden, his own b[D/F#]east by the horns
that he h[G]ides from the world when he's[G] young and strong
looking[Em] over his shoulder, half te[G]thered and torn,
stil[C]l standing tall.
[C]But every year rolls on like a r[D/F#]unaway train
every [G]beast grows stronger as the pe[C]ndulum swings
to[Em] and fro, and on s[G]he goes
[C]that wrecking ball.
(Instrumental break) Play verse chords
[C]I've just seen that [D/F#]rock of ages
I've just h[G]eld my saviors h[C]ands
we d[Em]anced on the water with my h[G]ead on her shoulder
she s[C]wore to never let me fall.
[C]And wouldn't time seem [D/F#]so kindly
i[G]f every bright e[C]yed girl could be
m[Em]ore like you and sh[G]elter me
from that wr[C]ecking ball[Am]
that wrecking [D]ball
