verse 1 

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  


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 


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
