I started a joke,

which started the whole world crying,
     D       G   Bm  
but I didn't see,
        C            D           G  Bm
oh, oh, no, that the joke was on me,

I looked at the skies,
           C              G  
running my hands over my eyes,

and I fell out of bed,

hurting my head from things that I'd said.

'Till I finally died,
                  D           G      Bm C
which started the whole world living,
