beats ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

[C]D'you hear the one about [G]the one you're now without, [C]did it make you[G]
smile?
D'you hear the one about the one you filled with doubt, was it worth your
while?
[Am]The way you kick a life ar[D]ound, [Am]deserving to be undergr[D]ound.

(Chorus) :
[C]What is this? [G]Explain. J[C]oke is this [G]some kind of joke.
[C]Joke, I'm [G]laughing, I'm [G]laughing,
I'm [C]lau-ghing [G] I'm [C]la-ughing[G]

[C]D'you hear the one about [G]the one who fell from s[C]pace[G]
One minute in the stars, next minute lying on her face.
[Am]She says 'I don't know what to [D]be', and [Am]'does she look younger than [D]me?'

(Chorus)

(Bridge):
[Am]For a tumble and [G/B]something to do at night, [Am]you kick a life a round [D]o- [C]ooh
For a fumble with someone you know at sight . . .
[Am] [G][C][G][C]
[G] . . . D'you hear the one about the one you're now without?

[Am]She says 'I don't know what to [D]be', and [Am]'does she look younger than [D]me?'
And 'does my make up look alright, can you tell that I've been up all night?'

(Chorus) x 2

end on a C
