Joke

G         Bm             Cmaj7
Could the joke be now on me?
         C                 D7
Whom the Gods destroy they first 
make mad.

G  F#m Em


G      Bm           Cmaj7
Do you mock my misery?
       C               D7
Inconsequential in the scheme of 
things.

G  F#m Em


    Cmaj7          Bm
For all that joy demands,
          G                  C    
You could count the breaks I got 
           Em
on just one hand.

G        F#m              Bm    
Find I'm reaching for the 
               G   C
mountain that's just too high;
        Bm                   G C
For the truth that turns out a lie;
        F#m           G         
For the one who makes good my 
Bm        Cmaj7   C
escape from sorrow, hey!
         Bm              G      
Are they saying that the joke's 
F#m Cmaj7
on  me?
