Humour Of The Situation ukulele

Humour Of The Situation

• Gmaj7

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:

Intro
Gmaj7, Em7 (x4)

Verse 1
G                  Em7                 Cadd9
   When you walked in, I said with a grin
                    D                G
That we were just talking about you
              Em9                    Cadd9
We all had to lie because you would cry
                      D
If you knew we were laughing at you

Pre-Chorus 1
       G         Eb+             Em              G/F
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
            C           D7sus        G  D7sus
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi

Chorus
G              Em7
  Come on now, now
              Cm
Come on now, now
           Am           D        G
Enjoy the humour of the situation
              Em7
Come on now, now
              Cm
Come on now, now
           Am           D
Enjoy the humour of the situation

Instrumental
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
