A more simplified version of an extremely complicated song (no reference intended) [Intro] D C G A A7 A7 [Verse 1]
D                    G       A      D                      G     A        Bm
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane with a rabid wolverine in my underwear

     E               A                                      G                                 D
when suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes

D                 G     A               D                   G      A
I guessed "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie? is it Bob or Joe or Walter?

         Bm                      E
Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?"

           A                                        A7                         Bm
I probably would have kept on guessing but about that time we crashed into the truck

                  E7                    A                   D           Em            G
And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer

    A             A7
who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me
[Chorus 1]
D     G        A         D                           G         A        Bm
Everything you know is wrong! Black is white, up is down and short is long

          E                         A            A7
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter

D     G        A         D                      F#7            Bm
Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along

                 E                G           A       F    G
All you need to understand is, everything you know is wrong
[Verse 2]
D                    G       A        D                      G           A                Bm
I was walkin' to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams when I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension

     E            A                         G                                 D
and soon I was abducted by some aliens from space who kinda looked like Jamie Farr

D                   G     A                 D                       G             A
They sucked out my internal organs and they took some polaroids and said I was a darn good sport

Bm                 E                           A                               A7                           Bm
As a way of saying thank you they offered to transport me back to any point in history that I would care to go

                  E7                    A                        D            Em      G
And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night so I could pay my phone bill on time

                       A                                   A7
Just then the floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling
[Chorus 2]
D     G        A         D                           G         A        Bm
Everything you know is wrong! Black is white, up is down and short is long

          E                         A            A7
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter

D     G        A         D                      F#7            Bm
Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along

                 E                G           A       D
All you need to understand is, everything you know is wrong
[Instrumental Interlude] [Accordion Solo] G E F# G A [Saxophone Solo] Cm F G Am Bb Am Bb G C [Guitar Solo] Dm Eb F F# Am Bb G C A7 A7 (two strums) [Verse 3]
D                    G            A     D                G     A      Bm
I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin when I got a nasty papercut

             E                 A                     G      D
And well, to make a long story short it got infected and I died

   D                             G     A      D                     G             A
So now I'm up in heaven with St. Peter by the pearly gates and it's obvious he doesn't like the

Bm           E                    A                     A7
Nehru jacket that I'm wearing, he tells me that they've got a dress code,

 Bm                          E7            A                        D         Em              G
Well, he lets me into heaven anyway but I get the room next to the noisy ice machine for all eternity

    A            A7
And every day he runs by screaming
[Chorus 3]
D     G        A         D                           G         A        Bm
Everything you know is wrong! Black is white, up is down and short is long, and

                      E                             A                     A7
Everything ya used to think was so important doesnt really matter anymore because the simple fact remains that

D     G        A         D                      F#7            Bm
Everything you know is wrong! Just forget the words and sing along

                 E             G              A        Bm             C#m       G              A       D
All you need to understand is, everything you know is (everything you know is), everything you know is wrong!
