G    Bm    C    D    x2

[Verse 1]
G            Bm   C
I started a joke
                  D          G      Bm   C
Which started the whole world crying
    D         G   Bm   C
But I didn't see
          D         G   Bm  C  D
That the joke was on me, oh no

[Verse 2]
G            Bm   C
I started to cry
                  D          G        Bm   C
Which started the whole world laughing
       D          G      Bm   C
Oh, if I'd only seen
         D            G
That the joke was on me

[Chorus]
Em               Bm
I looked at the skies
             C            G
Running my hands over my eyes
    Bm            Em
And I fell out of bed
Em/D       Am
Hurting my head
                      D     N.C.
From things that I'd said

[Verse 3]
G            Bm      C
'Til I finally died
                 D            G      Bm   C
Which started the whole world living
  C    D       G      Bm   C
Oh, if I'd only seen
         D           G
That the joke was on me

[Chorus]
Em               Bm
I looked at the skies
             C            G
Running my hands over my eyes
    Bm            Em
And I fell out of bed
Em/D       Am
Hurting my head
                      D     N.C.
From things that I'd said

[Verse 4]
G            Bm    C
'Til I finally died
                  D           G      Bm   C
Which started the whole world living
       D          G      Bm   C
Oh, if I'd only seen
         D           G   Bm   C
That the joke was on me

[Coda]
          D         G   Bm  C  D
That the joke was on me
G   Bm   C   D    G
Oh...
