Humour Of The Situation by Barenaked Ladies

Chords with lyrics

Pretty easy song off BNL's 2000 album "Maroon". In the U.S. it's spelled "Humor",
in Canada it's spelled "Humour". I figured I'd go with "Humour" since that's what
it says on the back of my "Maroon" CD. Anyways:

-Standard Tuning-

-Capo on the 2nd fret-

-Tempo-
Fast ♩ = 152

The chords are played as follows:

[Verse 2]
I said on the phone "Don't wait 'till I'm home"
But I'm sure I could hear you crying
I said where I was, but you doubt it because
It's the caller I.D. you're buying

[Pre-Chorus 2]
In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn

[Chorus] (x2)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation

  Have you heard the one about the boy
      Chord diagramC majorC
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
     Chord diagramFF
He woke up with egg on his face
       Chord diagramD MajorD
When he found out all the hens had crossed the street

[Chorus] (x2)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[Verse 3]
As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me
I felt a chill because I was still
Wearing the emperor's new clothes

[Pre-Chorus 3]
My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed
While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house

[Pre-Chorus 4]
I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:

[Chorus] (x3)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[End on
