I started a joke, which started the whole world crying, 
    E        A C#m D         E            A  C#m   D E
but I didn't see    that the joke was on me,  oh oh 
   
A         C#m   D                   E           A     C#m D
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing 
    E           A C#m D         E            A  
Oh, if I'd only seen   that the joke was on me        
      
F#m            C#m               D
I looked at the skies, running my hands 
       A          C#m           F#m
over my eyes, and I fell out of bed, 
           Bm                        E
hurting my head from things that I'd said       

A          C#m      D                  E           A     C#m D
Till I finally died, which started the whole world living 
    E           A C#m D         E            A  C#m   D E
Oh, if I'd only seen   that the joke was on me    

F#m            C#m               D
I looked at the skies, running my hands 
       A          C#m           F#m
over my eyes, and I fell out of bed, 
           Bm                        E
hurting my head from things that I'd said      

A          C#m      D                  E           A     C#m D
Till I finally died, which started the whole world living 
    E           A C#m D         E            A  C#m   D E 
Oh, if I'd only seen,  that the joke was on me,  oh no
A        C#m
So I finally died
