I started a joke
D7 G Bm C
Which started the whole world crying
D7 G Bm C
But I didn't see
D7 G Bm C D7
That the joke was on me
G Bm C
And I started to cry
D7 G Bm C
Which started the whole world laughing
D7 G Bm C
Oh If I only see
D7 G
That the joke was on me
Em Bm
I looked at the sky
C G
And holding my hands over my eyes
Bm Em
And I fell out of bed
Am D7
Cursing my head, for the things that I said
G Bm C
I finally died
D7 G Bm C
Which started the whole world living
D7 G Bm C
Oh If I only seen
D7 G
That the joke was on me

I looked at the skies
C G
And holding my hands over my eyes
Bm Em
And I fell out of bed
Am D7
Cursing my head for the things that I said
G Bm C
I finally died
D7 G Bm C
Which started the whole world living
D7 G Bm C
Oh If I only seen
D7 G Bm C
That the joke was on me
D7 G Bm C D7
That the joke was on me
G Bm C D7 G
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
