Humour Of The Situation Chords by Barenaked Ladies

Humour Of The Situation chords by Barenaked Ladies

Guitar 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

[Intro]
Em7 (x4)

[Verse 1]
Cadd9
   When you walked in, I said with a grin
                    G
That we were just talking about you
              Cadd9
We all had to lie because you would cry
                      D
If you knew we were laughing at you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
       G/F
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
            D7sus
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi
[Chorus]
Em7
  Come on now, now
              Cm
Come on now, now
           G
Enjoy the humour of the situation
              Em7
Come on now, now
              Cm
Come on now, now
           D
Enjoy the humour of the situation

[Instrumental]
Em7 (x2)

[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

[Bridge]
F/A
   Have you heard the one about the boy
            C
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
         F
He woke up with egg on his face
             D
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

[Coda]
G

[End on
