Comedy

Intro
Dm
The world is changing
Db+
The planet's heating up
F/C              G7        C  C#dim
What the fuck is going on?
Dm
Rearranging
Db+                                  F/C
It's like everything happened all at once
                      G7           C    C#dim
Um, what the fuck is going on?
Bb        C              F            Dm   C    Bb
The people rising in the streets, the war, the drought
Bb          C                  F          Dm      C
The more I look the more I see nothing to joke about
Bb        C
Is comedy over?
F
Should I leave you alone?
Dm            C                   Bb           C
'Cause, really who's gonna go for joking at a time like this?
F                         Dm        Am
Should I be joking at a time like this?

Pre-Chorus
    Bb          C                F             Dm       C
I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it
     Bb             C
And I fear that comedy won't help
         F                Dm    C
And the fear is not unfounded
   Bb                        C
Should I stop trying to be funny?
          A7          Dm      C     Bb
Should I give away my money? No!
          Bbm
What do I do?

Pre-Verse
Dm                 C        F      Dm
      Healing the world with comedy
C                  Bb            Gm
The indescribable power of your comedy
Dm                   C  F
    The world needs direction
                  Dm  Eb
From a white guy like me (Bingo)
                                 Bb
Who is healing the world with comedy
That's it!

Verse 1
Dm  C        F            Dm
The world is so fucked up
             C
Systematic oppression
Bb             Gm
Income inequality
Dm
The other stuff
F                                          Dm
And there's only one thing I can do about it...
Eb                             Bb
While... while being paid, and being the center of attention

Chorus
Dm       C   F           Dm
Healing the world with comedy
C                  Bb            Gm
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
Dm               C  F
A Jew walks into a bar
                   Dm  Eb
And I've saved him a seat
                   Bb
That's healing the world with comedy

Verse 2
Dm                              C
I'm a special kind of white guy
F                                   Dm        C
I self-reflected and I want to be an agent of change
                         Bb
So I am going to use my privilege for the good
Gm
(Very cool, way to go!)
Dm                 C
American white guys
F                                 Dm  Eb
We've had the floor for at least 400 years
                        Bb             Gm
So maybe I should just shut the fuck up
N.C.
...I'm bored
Dm                   C
I don't wanna do that
F                         Dm
There's got to be another way (Yes)
C                           Bb               Gm
For me to help out without standing on the sidelines (Never)
Dm                C
The wait is over!
F                          Dm
I'm white, and I'm here to save the day!
Eb                          Bb
Lord help me channel Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side (Sandra Bullock!)


Chorus
Dm       C   F           Dm
Healing the world with comedy
C                  Bb            Gm
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
Dm                        C  F
And yes, most likely they'll pay me
                   Dm  Eb
But I'd do it for free
                   Bb
I am healing the world with: Comedy

Bridge

If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke
              Dm              C             Bb
Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke
Bb                F              C
If you see white men dressed in white cloaks
              Dm              Am          Bb
Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke
    F   A7                         Dm        C
Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this?
Bb         F                   C
If you start to smell burning toast
                 Dm            C           Bb
You're having a stroke or overcooking your toast
Bb                   F                   C
If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke
              Dm              C             Bb
Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke

Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke
    F   A7                         Dm        C
Oh shit, should I be joking in a time like this?
Bb                                 Bbm
Somebody help me out, 'cause I don't know

Pre-Chorus
        Bb          C                F             Dm       C
And I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it
     Bb             C
And I fear that comedy won't help
         F                Dm    C
And the fear is not unfounded
   Bb                        C
Should I stop trying to be funny?
          A7          Dm      C     Bb
Should I give away my money? No!
    C7         D7
I know what I gotta do!

Chorus
Em      D     G             Em
Healing the world with comedy
D                  C             Am
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
Em          D        G
I swore I'd never be back
                 Em   F
But now I'm back on my feet
                    C          Am
And I'm healing the world with comedy
