Humour Of The Situation Chords & Tabs
Humour Of The Situation Chords
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

Gmaj7, Em7 (x4)
[Verse 1]

We all had to lie because you would cry

If you knew we were laughing at you

Gmaj7, 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]
C G/B Bb F/A
Have you heard the one about the boy
Fm C G C
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
G/B 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] (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, Em7, Cm, Am, D, Am, D, G
[End on G]
