Verso 1:

        G            Bm
        I started a joke
          C                 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

Verso 2:

         G            Bm
        I started to cry
           C                 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

Refrão:

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

Verso 3:

             G         Bm
        'Til I finally died
         C                 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

Refrão:

        Running my hands over my eyes
            Bm            Em
        And I fell out of bed
                    Am
        Hurting my head
                              D
        From things that I'd said
