R.E.M. - The Worst Joke Ever: chords

    Am                                     Em
You see there's this cat burglar who can't see in the dark
   Am                             Em
He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar
 Am                  Em
Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife
      F                                    Em
Says, "I don't know what I've done, but it doesn't feel right!

Some things don't hold up over the course of a lifetime
When's the first time you heard that one, 1954?
Get to the punch line, fall to the floor

Chorus:
G                         Dm
Give me a minute and I'll tell you the setup
        Cm             A#   F
For the worst joke ever, I never
G                                Dm
I'll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Cm           A# F
Don't bore me

Now I am floating, I feel released
The moorings have been dropped, the weights unleashed
Everything is crystalline, simple and free

The crime of good men who can't wrestle with change
Or are too afraid to face this life's misjudged unknowns
You're not hurting anybody else's chances
but you're disfiguring your own


Chorus

You see there's this feeling that
I've heard this one before
