Verse 1: (Mostly bass)

A             G
Doorways open up and close,
D/F#           F           F  G
More ways to a punch line,
A                  G
Their all laughing at your clothes,
D/F#            F 
Standing in the lunch line,

Pre-Chorus:

         A 
Your the talk of the town,
             G
First you're up then you're down,
      D/F#
Its a cycle I've found,
     F
It always comes around,

Chorus:

     A   G           D/F#     F   
But, I will still be laughing,
     A   G           D/F#     F
Yes, I will still be laughing,

Verse 2:

Air raids in the afternoon,
The children are playing,
Switchblades cutting red balloons,
No one hears you praying,

Pre-Chorus:

And it comes back to you,
All the things that you do,
They'll come looking for you,
They'll come looking for you,

Chorus:

But, I will still be laughing,
Yes, I will still be laughing,

Verse 3:

Doorways lead to other rooms,
Always leave you lying,
Face down in a strangers tomb,
Didn't know you were dying,

Pre-Chorus:

And you rise and you fall,
And you wait for the call,
Your watching the walls,
Your watching the walls,

Chorus:

But, I will still be laughing,
Yeah, I will still be laughing,
I will still be laughing,
Yes, I will still be laughing,
