(The net result of all the instruments is G Em7 Cadd9 D, which you can
play as 320033 022033 x32033 x00232, but actually, Amy just plays
G Em C D, or 320003 022000 x32010 x00232. In other words, Amy never
plays the D variations; that's Emily's part, way up high on the neck.)
[Intro]
G Em7 Cadd9 D G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
G Em7 You said the world was magic, I was wide-eyed and laughing Cadd9 D We were dancing up to the bright side G Em7 Forget about your ego, forget about your pride Cadd9 D D And you will never have to compromise
[Short Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
[Verse 2]
G Em7 We talked about our mothers, kissed the wounds of our fathers Cadd9 D I could've been your sister, I would've been your brother G Em7 You kissed me like I was a soldier headed for war Cadd9 D I'm a dying man, but I don't know what for [stop]
[Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9 D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother G Em7 Cadd9 D You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(Wide-eyed and laughing) (Dancing...)

[Verse 3]
G Em7 Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet Cadd9 D I bruised my heels on the swollen street G Em7 We were girls in bars, boys on the town Cadd9 D Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
[Verse 4]
G Em7 You said good friends are hard to come by Cadd9 D I laughed and bought you a beer, it's too corny to cry G Em7 Well, sentiment given or sentiment lost Cadd9 D You shake it off with a smirk and a toss [stop]
[Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9 D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother G Em7 Cadd9 D You were only joking, you were only joking, brother G Em7 Cadd9 D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(Gravel and glass...) (I bruised my heels...)
G Em7 Cadd9 D You were joking, you were only joking, brother
(You kissed me like a soldier...) (I'm a dying man...)
G Em7 Cadd9 D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(...dying man, but I don't know what for...)
D D [stop] And you were only, and you were only, and you were only G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D G [stop] N.C. Joking, brother One two three four...
