I STARTED A JOKE

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

    
      G             Bm
      I started to cry, 
   C                      D          G         Bm
      which started the whole world laughing. 
   C          D        G           Bm
      Oh, if I'd only seen 
   C            D          G
      that the joke was on me. 
       
      
      Em               Bm
      I looked at the skies, 
                  C
      running my hands 
              G
      over my eyes, 
          Bm            Em
      and I fell out of bed, 
      Em/D        Am
      hurting my head 
                            D
      from things that I'd said. 
       

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


      Em               Bm
      I looked at the skies, 
                  C
      running my hands 
              G
      over my eyes, 
          Bm            Em
      and I fell out of bed, 
      Em/D        Am
      hurting my head 
                            D
      from things that I'd said.

      Til I finally died, 
   C                      D          G          Bm
      which started the whole world living.

      that the joke was one me,  oh  no
                D            G   Bm   C   D   G
      that the joke was one me                 oh.
