      E  Bm  F#m  Am 

E            Bm     F#m 
I started a joke 
                  Am             E    Bm  F#m 
Which started the whole world crying 
    Am        E  Bm  F#m 
But I didn't see 
          Am          E  Bm 
That the joke was on me 
F#m    Am 
Oh no 

E             G#m   A 
I started to cry 
                  B                 E  G#m  A 
Which started the whole world laughing 
       B           E  G#m  A 
Oh, if I'd only seen 
           B          E 
That the joke was on me 

C#m                 G#m                A             E 
I, I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes 
   G#m               C#m              A 
And I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head 
                       E  B 
From things that I'd said 

    E          Bm   F#m 
Til I finally died 
                  Am               E   Bm  F#m 
Which started the whole world living 
       Am         E  G#m  A 
Oh, if I'd only seen 
            B         E 
That the joke was on me 

C#m              G#m               A             E 
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes 
   G#m               C#m              A 
And I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head 
                      E   B 
From things that I'd said 

     E          Bm      F#m 
'Til I finally died 
                   Am 
Which started the whole world 
  E   Bm  F#m 
Living 
       Am         E  G#m   A 
Oh, if I'd only seen 
          B          E  G#m   A 
That the joke was on me 
          B          E  G#m   A 
That the joke was on me 
          B          E   
That the joke was on me 

Final Bm  F#m  Am  E
