Waiting For The Punchline

[Verse 1]
A7
A you might say, "Hey, I lost my sense of humor"

Well, I'm quite surprised I didn't lose it sooner

Why waste my breath on anything less than talk so trivial?

As a man I ran out of material

[Chorus]
Dm
Why did the chicken go across the road
Dm
To get to the other side?
Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Dm
And whoever said, the grass always grows
Dm
Greener on the other side
Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline

[Verse 2]
A7
The good ol' days I was known to wear a smile
              G5 A5   G5 A5               D/F#
Like all good things they've gone out of style
A7
I will admit, usually a quick with I found me amusing

What used to be, no longer are amusing

[Chorus]
Dm
Why did the chicken go across the road
Dm
To get to the other side?
Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Dm
And whoever said, the grass always grows
Dm
Greener on the other side
Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline

A7                         G5 A5  G5 A5                      A7
It's nothing that you said,       no, nothing that you did
A5                     G5 A5 G5 A5  G5 A5 G5 A5  D/F#    A7
It must have been a bad joke       that's gone over my head

What me worry, another tragedy

Ladder plus time, equals comedy

[Chorus]
Dm
Why can't I get to the other side?

I'm still waiting for the punchline

And whoever said, the grass always grows

Greener on the other line

I'm still waiting for the punchline
