Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I learned politeness on my mother's knee

(D#sus *)

I learned by uprightness my number of friends shoud increase (*)

When I think about the things I've done

I laugh out loud to no one

Yeah, to no one

'Coz it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see

  When I try to open up my heart

  There's something inside me'n'I know it's good(*)

  But understanding, it's misunderstood

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

But I became honest Mr. Mistaken

In spite of the curves my smile was makin'(*)

Bumpers and kickers in one big stream

I grew up in a life size pinball machine!

  Yeah! - They're mean!.

'Coz it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see

  When I try to open up my heart

  There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good

  But understanding, it's misunderstood

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

  On my behalf

  There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good

  But understanding, it's misunderstood

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

I tried to fill some silence

(***D# (***Pick this part freely)

'Coz the silence feels so long

I knew the ice was gettin' thinner

  But I kept skating on!

  My mother threw me into this world as a winner

***)

But by the light of the yellow beer

They tell the jokes I'll never get to hear!!

  On my behalf

  There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good

  But understanding, it's misunderstood

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

  On my behalf

  There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good

  But understanding, it's misunderstood

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half

  At the end of a smile, there's a laugh n a half
