Bm
   You walk into the room
Bm/Bb
   With your pencil in your hand
Bm7/A
  You see somebody naked
                E7
  And you say, "Who is that man?"
G
  You try so hard
             Em
  But you don't understand
D                  F#m
  Just what you'll say
                   Bm
  When you get home
D                                    F#m
  Because something is happening here
            Bm
  But you don't know what it is
G                Bm
  Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
You raise up your head
Bm/Bb
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
Bm7/A                                   E7
And somebody points to you and says "It's his"
G
And you say, "What's mine?"
                        Em
And somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
D                  F#m
And you say, "Oh my God
             Bm
Am I here all alone?"
D                          F#m
But something is happening here
         Bm
And you don't know what it is
G              Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
You hand in your ticket
Bm/Bb
And you go watch the geek
Bm7/A
Who immediately walks up to you
E7
When he hears you speak
G
And says, "How does it feel
Em
to be such a freak?"
          D           F#m
And you say, "Impossible"
                 Bm
As he hands you a bone
D                           F#m
And something is happening here
         Bm
But you don't know what it is
G              Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
You have many contacts
Bm7/A
Among the lumberjacks
    G
To get you facts
                          Bm
When someone attacks your imagination

But nobody has any respect
Bm7/A
Anyway they already expect you
 G
To just give a check
   Em
To tax-deductible
              A
Charity organizations

Bm
You've been with the professors
Bm/Bb
And they've all liked your looks
Bm7/A
With great lawyers you have
E7
Discussed lepers and crooks
G
You've been through
     Em
All of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
D             F#m
You're very well read
Bm
It's well known
D                 F#m
But something is happening here
        Bm
And you don't know what it is
G              Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
Well, the sword swallower
            Bm/Bb
He comes up to you, and then he kneels
Bm7/A
He crosses himself
           E7
And then he clicks his high heels
G
And without further notice
          Em
He asks you how it feels
            D               F#m
And he says, "Here is your throat back
               Bm
Thanks for the loan"
D                     F#m
Because something is happening here
        Bm
But you don't know what it is
G              Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Bm/Bb
Shouting the word "NOW"
Bm7/A
And you say, "For what reason?"
E7
And he says, "How?"
G
And you say, "What does this mean?"
        Em
And he screams back, "You're a cow
D            F#m            Bm
Give me some milk or else go home"
D                         F#m
And you know something is happening here
        Em
But you don't know what it is
G              Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?

Bm
Well, you walk into the room
       Bm/Bb
Like a camel and then you frown
Bm7/A
You put your eyes in your pocket
E7
And your nose on the ground
G
There ought to be a law
Em
Against you comin' around
    D                 F#m      Bm
You should be made to wear earphones
D                    F#m
Because something is happening here
        Bm
And you don't know what it is
G              Bm
Do you, Mister Jones?
