[Intro] G Em (x4) [Verse 1]
G                 Em                  C
  When you walked in, I said with a grin

                    D                G
That we were just talking about you

              Em                     C
We all had to lie because you would cry

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

            C           D            G  D
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi
[Chorus]
G               Em
  Come on now, now

              Cm
Come on now, now

[Instrumental] G Em (x2) [Verse 2]
G                Em                         C
  I said on the phone "Don't wait till I'm home"

                     D                G
But I'm sure I could hear you crying

               Em                      C
I said where I was, but you doubt it because

                  D
It's the caller I.D. you're buying
[Pre-Chorus 2]
       G            D#             Em               Gm
In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door

         C               D               G
You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn
[Chorus]
G               Em
  Come on now, now

              Cm
Come on now, now

           Am           D

[Bridge]
C           G         Bb          F
  Have you heard the one about the boy

            Fm      C           G
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?

C         G        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]

[Verse 3] G
            Em              C              D              G
As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me

         Em                  C
I felt a chill because I was still

            D
Wearing the emperor's new clothes
[Pre-Chorus 3]
   G        D#                Em               Gm
My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed

           C                   D                  G
While your next door neighbour soaked me with the hose

G          D#                  Em            Gm
I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed

      C                D                G
As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:
[Chorus]
G              Em
  Come on now, now

              Cm
Come on now, now

           Am           D
