[Verse]
G           Bm   C                  D           G        Bm  C
I started a joke,  which started the whole world crying,
   D            G   Bm  C         D           G    Bm     C  D
Oh but I didn't see       that the joke was on me,     oh no.

    G            Bm   C                  D           G          Bm  C
And I started to cry,   which started the whole world laughing,
       D       G    Bm  C          D           G
Oh, if I'd only seen      that the joke was on me.


[Chorus]
    Em              Bm                C             G
And I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
    Bm            Em              A                         D
And I fell out of bed, cursing my head from things that I'd said.


[Verse]
    G         Bm   C                 D           G        Bm  C
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
          D    G    Bm  C            D           G
Oh, if I'd only seen       that the joke was on me.


[Chorus]
    Em              Bm                C             G
And I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
    Bm            Em              A                         D
And I fell out of bed, cursing my head from things that I'd said.
