Chords

Pretty easy song off BNL's 2000 album "Maroon". In the U.S. it's spelled "Humor", in Canada it's spelled "Humour". I figured I'd go with "Humour" since that's what it says on the back of my "Maroon" CD. Anyways: -Standard Tuning- -Tempo- Fast ♩ = 152 The chords are played as follows: -(All chords are relative to the capo) Gmaj7: 3x0002 Em7: 022033 G: 320033 Cadd9: x32033 D: xx0232 Em9: 022032 Eb+: x6544x Em: 022000 G/F: 1x0003 C: x32010 D7sus: xx0213 Cm: x35543 Am: x02210 G/B: x2x033 Bb: x13331 F/A: x03211 Fm: 133111 F: 133211 [Intro] Gmaj7, Em7 (x4) [Verse 1]

   When you walked in, I said with a grin

                    D                G
That we were just talking about you

              Em9                    Cadd9
We all had to lie because you would cry

                      D
If you knew we were laughing at you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
       G         Eb+             Em              G/F
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play

            C           D7sus        G  D7sus
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi
[Chorus]

[Instrumental] Gmaj7, Em7 (x2) [Verse 2] I said on the phone "Don't wait 'till I'm home" But I'm sure I could hear you crying I said where I was, but you doubt it because It's the caller I.D. you're buying [Pre-Chorus 2] In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn [Chorus] (x2) Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation [Bridge]
C            G/B       Bb          F/A

Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?

         G/B      Bb           F
He woke up with egg on his face

             Fm            C                      D
When he found out all the hens had crossed the street
[Chorus] (x2) Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation [Verse 3] As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me I felt a chill because I was still Wearing the emperor's new clothes [Pre-Chorus 3] My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house [Pre-Chorus 4] I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes: [Chorus] (x3) Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humour of the situation [Coda] G, Em7, Cm, Am, D, Am, D, G [End on G]
