[Verse 1]
Am Em You see there's this cat burglar who can't see in the dark Am Em He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar Am Em Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife F Em Says, "I don't know what I've done, but it doesn't feel right! Am Em Am Em Some things don't hold up over the course of a lifetime, oh Am Em When's the first time you heard that one, 1954? F Em Get to the punch line, fall to the floor
[Chorus]
G Dm Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup Cm Bb F For the worst joke ever, I never G Dm I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story Cm Bb F Don't bore me
[Verse 2]
Am Em Now I am floating, I feel released Am Em The moorings have been dropped the weights unleashed Am Em F Em Everything is crystalline, simple and free, oh Am The crime of good men who can't wrestle with change Em Am Em Or are too afraid to face this life's misjudged unknowns Am Em You're not hurting anybody else's chances F Em But you're disfiguring your own
[Chorus]
G Dm Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup Cm Bb F For the worst joke ever, I never G Dm I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story Cm Bb F Don't bore me, I never G Dm Cm Bb F Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup, oh G Dm Cm Bb F You see there's this feeling that I've heard this one before
