I started a joke

Verse 1:

 G            Bm
 I started a joke
   C                 D          G      Bm   C
 Which started the whole world crying
     D         G   Bm   C
 But I didn't see
           D   [1, 4: G  Bm  C  D ; 2, 3: G]
 That the joke was on me, oh no

Verse 2:

 I started to cry
 Which started the whole world laughing
 Oh, if I'd only seen
 That the joke was on me

Chorus:

 Em               Bm
 I looked at the skies
              C            G
 Running my hands over my eyes
     Bm            Em  
 And I fell out of bed
  /D         Am
 Hurting my head
                       D     [N.C.]
 From things that I'd said

Verse 3:

 'Til I finally died
 Which started the whole world living
 Oh, if I'd only seen [4: oh, yeah]
 That the joke was on me

[repeat chorus]

[repeat verse 3]

Coda:

          (D)         G   Bm  C  D

 Oh...
