Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:
G  Em  (x4)

Verse 1:
G         Em         C
 When you walked in, I said with a grin
          D        G
That we were just talking about you
       Em           C
We all had to lie because you would cry
           D
If you knew we were laughing at you

Pre-Chorus 1:
    G     D#       Em       G
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
      C      D      G D
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi

Chorus:
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation
G        Em
 Come on now, now

Enjoy the humour of the situation

Instrumental:
G  Em  (x2)

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

Pre-Chorus 2:
    G      D#       Em        Gm
In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
     C        D        G
You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn

Chorus:
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation

Bridge:
C      G     Bb     F
 Have you heard the one about the boy
      Fm   C      G
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
C     G    Bb      F
 He woke up with egg on his face
     Fm        C           D
When he found out all the hens had crossed the street

Chorus:
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation

Verse 3:
G
      Em       C       D       G
As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me
     Em         C
I felt a chill because I was still
      D
Wearing the emperor's new clothes

Pre-Chorus 3:
  G    D#        Em        Gm
My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed
      C          D         G
While your next door neighbour soaked me with the hose
G     D#         Em      Gm
I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
   C        D        G
As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:

Chorus:
G       Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation
G        Em
 Come on now, now
       Cm
Come on now, now
      Am      D
Enjoy the humour of the situation
