  You  know I  lose,  you  know I  win
  You  know I  called  for the shape I'm in
  It's  just a  game  you  see me  play
  Only real  in the way  that I feel  from day to day
  Although the answer is not unknown
  I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown
  It's not all right, to say good-bye
  And the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
  No the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
  Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
  World on a String : Unplugged
  You  know I lose, you know I win
  You know I called  for the state I'm in
  It's just a game  you see me play
   020003
  Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
  Although the answer is not unknown
  I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown
  It's not all right, to say good-bye
  And the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
 
  No the world  on a string  doesn't mean  a thing
   020003
  Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
