[Verse]
D Em D EmEach morning my beloved asks me to open up my eyes
D Em DSee what kind of attention I can pay
[Refrain]
F BbI see a corporate coffeehouse putting up their Christmas decorations
F BbCommuter cars all waiting at a light
F BbThe line outside the Roxy full of hopeful conversation
F BbSome local band is playing there tonight
F BbA couple is walks their dog discussing what to eat for dinner
F BbA runaway is being read his rights
F BbA hotel hosts a conference called “Investment for Beginners”
F GSome high school coach breaking up a fight
[Chorus]
D GAnd there’s a joke in there somewhere
D GA joke in there somewhere
D Bm Bbmb6A joke in there some-where
A G#mb6 Gm DOne that I just don’t know how to tell to late
[Interlude]

[Verse]
D Em D EmThis afternoon my doctor asked me to sit down in a chair
D Em DAnd he asks me then to walk him through my day
[Refrain]
F BbAnd I heard radios bring ball games to an ancient glacial traffic
F BbA starving dog was whimpering in pain
F BbThat sound check through the alley sounded like something close to magic
F BbFor a traveling dad who’s bound to miss his plane
F BbA boomer on a cellphone talking through party provisions
F BbBeneath that giant bullseye neon sign
F BbMakes me think of dixie cups and pizza crusts and giant televisions
F GThe allegory of the conga line
[Chorus]
D GAnd there’s a joke in there somewhere
D GA joke in there somewhere
D Bm Bbmb6A joke in there some-where
A G#mb6 Gm DOne I’m just not prepared to tell

[Verse]
D Em D EmNow as the sun is setting, I meet my brother for a drink
D Em DAnd he asks if I got something on my mind
[Refrain]
F BbSo I tell him about this move and how I didn’t get the ending
F BbWhy Do they let the creature get away
F BbAnd he reminds me that all it is is costumes and pretending
F BbBut there must be something else they’re trying to say
F BbAbout these buildings and this asphalt and the natural habitations
F BbThe pigeons, cats and rats and parasites
F BbThis wild and dancing city conducting perfect orchestrations
F BbThe way a stranger wishes us good night
F BbAnd he says every time we’ve sat here getting nervous for the future
F BbWe’ve ended up some version of okay
FThese songs that we are singing
BbThey shouldn’t give in to the rumours
F GThey should give some kind of strength to meet the day
[Chorus]
D GAnd there’s a joke in there somewhere
D GA joke in there somewhere
D Bm Bbmb6A joke in there some-where
A G#mb6 Gm D E7We just gotta find a way to laugh….
Gm DWe just gotta find a way to laugh
