G            Bm
I started a joke
  C                 D          G      Bm   C
That 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

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   G7
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
            Am
Hurting my head
Am                      D
From things that I'd said


[Pre-Chorus]

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   G7
That the joke was on me, ooooh


[Chorus]

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
Am                      D     
From things that I'd said


[Pre-Chorus]

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   D
That the joke was on meeeeeeeeeeeeee

G    Bm   C   D
