Verse:
E                       G#m A
Knockin' down your door
E               D            B
Well it seems I couldn't get arrested
E                        G#m A
Though I tried and tried
E                  D       B
My best well I was getting bested
E             G#m A
Everybody had
E                     D        B       A D
Some kind of interest that was vested


Chorus:
         C#m                                   E     A E
Could it be the time for exclamation points is over?
         F#m                           A B
Could it be the time for truths in semicolons?

Verse:
E                 G#m A
Everybody smiled
E                          D      B
A pat on the head and "oh, what a nice boy"
E                G#m A
Never took us serious
E                       D          B
Cause they were playin' with their other toys
E                 G#m A
Now I find I'm in demand
E                     D         B       A     D
You'll find that I've developed quite a voice


Chorus:
         C#m                                   E     A E
Could it be the time for exclamation points is over?
         F#m                           A B     B*
Could it be the time for truths in semicolons?

Verse:
E*                   G#m A
We're the best, at worst
E*            D        B
Yeah, now everybody tells us so
E*                     A
But you refuse to hear it
E*               D      B
Because you have got us pigeonholed
E                G#m A
Well I'm the joker in your hand
E               D         B      A     D
We'll play 'til one of us has to fold
