[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Here's
a man who can't take a joke.
He [F]wails and battles [Am]and bawls.
Here's a man [G]who lost his control.
[F]And I can see[C], we [F]all can se[C]e,
that [F]he'll never get that [G]joke.

[Verse 2]
[Am]Crowds of many makes a man o[G]f stee[Am]l,
[C]But alo[F]ne he battles his[Am] rust.
I can't tell [G]if he's the only [C]one.
[F]And I can see, [C]we all [F]can [C]see,
how [F]he'll never get that [G]joke.
Why [C]don't you

[Verse 3]
buy time,
toss- around time
You want to get that [G]joke.
[C]Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on [G]you.
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]The critics came and
[G]changed the [Am]earth.
[F]Sticks and stones are [Am]all dust.
Oh, [G]? just fade [C]away.[F]
[C]Words are che[F]ap, all really dee[C]p,
[F]now we want to get that [G]joke.

[Verse 5]
[C]Why don't you buy time,
dance- around time
You're really not that [G]joke.
[C]Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on [G]you.[C]

[Verse 6]
[C]Empathize and hide your eyes,
Let's just talk about [Am]us.
Two friends [C]walk [G]into [F]the dark.
[C]Got to be,[F] when he [C]can sleep,
[F]and we never get that [G]joke.

[Verse 7]
[C]Why don't you but time,
toss- around time
We're really not [G]that joke.
[C]Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on [G]you.[C]

[Verse 8]
[C]
Why don't you find time,
kick- around time
You're really not that [G]joke.
[C]Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on [G]you.
