[Am][Dm][Am]
[Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]You walk into the room
[E]with your pencil in your hand
[C]You see somebody naked and you[D],
You say, "Who is that man?"
[F]You try so hard but you
[Dm]don't understand
[C]Just what you will [Em]say when you [Am]get home

[Chorus 1]
Be[C]cause something is happen[Em]ing here
but you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 2]
[Am]You raise up your head
[E]and you ask, "Is this where it is?"
[C]And somebody points to you
and [D]says, "It's his"
[F]And you say, "What's mine?"
and somebody else [Dm]says, "Well, what is?"
And you [C]say, "Oh my God,
[Em]am I here all al[Am]one?"

[Chorus 2]
[C]But something is happen[Em]ing
and you don't [Am]know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 3]
[Am]You hand in your ticket
[E]and you go watch the geek
[C]Who immediately walks up to you
[D]when he hears you speak
[F]And says, "How does it feel
[Dm]to be such a freak?"
And you say, "Im[C]possible!"
as he [Em]hands you a [Am]bone

[Chorus 3]
[C]And something is happen[Em]ing here
but you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Bridge 1]
[Am]You have many contacts
[C]among the lumberjacks
To [F]get you facts when someone
attacks your imagi[Am]na tion
But nobody has any respect,
[C]anyway they already expect you
[F]to all give a check
To [Dm]tax-deductible
charity organi[G]zations

[Verse 4]
[Am]Ah, you've been with the professors and
[E]they've all liked your looks
[C]With great lawyers
you have dis[D]cussed lepers and crooks
[F]You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitz[Dm]gerald's books
[C]You're very well-rea[Em]d, it's well-kno[Am]wn

[Chorus 4]
[C]But something is happen[Em]ing here
and you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 5]
Well, [Am]the sword swallower,
he comes up to [E]you and then he kneels
[C]He crosses himself and then
[D]he clicks his high heels
And [F]without further notice,
he asks [Dm]you how it feels
And he says, [C]"Here is your throat [Em]back,
thanks for the [Am]loan"

[Chorus 5]
[C]And you know something is [Em]happening
but you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 6]
[Am]Now, you see this one-eyed midget
[E]shouting the word "Now"
[C]And you say, "For what reason?"
[D]and he says, "How"
[F]And you say, "What does this mean?"
and he screams [Dm]back, "You're a cow"
[C]"Give me some [Em]milk or else [Am]go home"

[Chorus 6]
And [C]you know something is happen[Em]ing
but you don't [Am]know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?

[Verse 7]
Well, [Am]you walk into the room
like a [E]camel, and then you frown
[C]You put your eyes in your pocket
and [D]your nose on the ground
[F]There ought to be a law
a[Dm]gainst you comin' around
You [C]should be made to [Em]wear ear[Am]phones

[Chorus 7]
[C]'Cause something is hap[Em]pening
and you [Am]don't know what it is
[F]Do you, Mr. Jon[Am]es?[Dm][Am]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Am][Dm][Am]
