E              Bm     F#m 
I started a joke, 
                           Am              E      Bm      F#m 
which started the whole world crying, 
   Am        E     Bm     F#m 
but I didn't see 
           Am              E      Bm 
that the joke was on me, 
F#m    Am 
oh no. 


E              G#m       A 
I started to cry, 
                            B                 E            G#m    A 
which started the whole world laughing, 
       B           E      G#m     A 
oh, if I'd only seen 
            B                E 
that the joke was on me. 


C#m                  G#m                     A                    E 
I, I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes, 
   G#m             C#m                    A                                E      B 
and I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said. 


   E          Bm     F#m 
Til I finally died, 
                          Am             E        Bm      F#m 
which started the whole world living, 
       Am         E      G#m      A 
oh, if I'd only seen 
            B                E 
that the joke was on me. 


C#m               G#m                      A                   E 
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes, 
  G#m              C#m                    A                                E      B 
and I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.
