Chords

[Intro] Bsus2 E x3 C#m Bsus2 [Verse 1]
Bsus2    E
I told a joke

Bsus2          E
The best one I know

Bsus2                   E
Thought the laugh would lighten my load

          C#m                     Bsus2
But every laugh felt like another stone

    F#  G5 G#m7                C#m
The more I set up, the worse I felt

            G#m7               C#m
My truth is fiction if I can't sell it

           G#m7             C#m
I made the punchline out of myself

            E                  Bsus2
And now the whole world laughs along

            E
And now the whole world laughs along

      G#m7
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

      E
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

F#7          Bsus2
Ha ha ha ha ha
[Verse 2]
Bsus2     E
I wrote a song

Bsus2          E
One of my very own

Bsus2            E
But the chords I played were wrong

          C#m                     Bsus2
And by the end my voice was gone

    F#  G5 G#m7               C#m
The more I write the worse it gets

         G#m7                      C#m
I try on lines but the verse won't fit

              G#m7                   C#m
I've found no hook to hang my hat on yet

        E                     Bsus2
I had a story but this wasn't it
[Chorus]
        E
I had a story but this wasn't it

             G#m7
This was metaphor, rhyme schemes and glib

            E
An abstract painting, brute-force adlib

          F#7
And all I needed was three minutes
E G#m7 E F#7 Bsus2 [Chorus]
        E
I had a story but this wasn't it

             G#m7
This was metaphor, rhyme schemes and glib

            E
An abstract painting, brute-force adlibs

          F#7
And all I needed was three minutes
[Bridge]
           E
That first moment was golden

           G#m7
I held the feelings right in my hand

          E
But observation changed the plan

          F#7
Moment to moment I'm a new man

        E
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

        G#m7
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

        E
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

F#7             Bsus2
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Outro]
Bsus2    E
I told a joke

Bsus2          E
The last one I know

Bsus2                   E
Thought the laugh would lighten my load\

          C#m                     Bsus2
But every laugh felt like another stone
