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

G               Em

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

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

              Cm
Come on now, now

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
