The Worst Joke Ever chords and lyrics - R.E.M.

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]You [Am]see t[A]here's [Am]this cat
burglar who can't [Em]see in the dark
He [Am]lays his bets on 8 more lives,
[Em]walks into a bar
[Am]Slips on the 8 ball, [Em]falls on his knife
[F]Says, "I don't know what I've done,
but it [Em]doesn't feel right!"

[Verse 2]
[Am]Some things don't hold up over the c[Em]ourse
of a [Am]lifetime[Em]
[Am]When's the first time you heard that one,
[Em]1954[F]?
Get to the punch line. [Em]fall to the floor

[Verse 3]
[G]Give me a minute and I'll
[Dm]tell you the setup for
The [Cm]worst joke [Bb]ever, I [F]never
[G]I'll tell you my version of the
[Dm]greatest life [Cm]story
Don't bore [Bb]me[F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Now I am floating
[Em]I feel released
The [Am]moorings have been dropped
The [Em]weights unleashed
[Am]Everything is crystalline,
[Em]simple and free
[F]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
The [Am]crime of good men who
can't wrestle with change
Or are [Em]too afraid to f[Am]ace this life's
[Em]misjudged unknowns
[Am]You're not hurting
anybody [Em]else's chances
[F]But you're disfiguring your own[Em]

[Verse 6]
[G]Give me a minute and I'll
[Dm]tell you the setup for
The [Cm]worst joke [Bb]ever, I [F]never
[G]I'll tell you my version of the
[Dm]greatest life [Cm]story
Don't bore [Bb]me, I n[F]ever
[G]Give me a minute and I'll
[Dm]tell you the setup

[Verse 7]
[Cm]You [Bb]see t[F]her[G]e's this feeling
that I've [Dm]heard this one before

[Outro 1]
