The Chuckler Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]It meant a lot to me then,
it matters less to me [Am]now
And any pleasure derived
Was knowing that they'd
never feel as [Dm]good
As a badge pinned on a thrift store coat

[Interlude 1]
that smelled of sauerkraut and cloves
[G][F]

[Verse 2]
An angry [F]customer's face
Confused because they didn't
get their [Am]way
Is something they would never allow
But they have [Dm]to allow
Because this pitiful exchange will be

[Interlude 2]
the sole high point of our day
[G][Dm][G]

[Verse 3]
I [Esus4]guess I'll keep on chu[Dm]ckling 'ti[G]l
there's [E]no [Esus4]more brea[E]th in my l[Esus4]ungs
[Dm]And [G]it reall[Esus4]y doesn't matter at all
[Dm]Ha h[G]a

[Verse 4]
[Em]War, [F]and rumors of war[Em]
Clouds of poison in [G]the sky
and poison [F]in the soil
Lord, how I wish there was a
better ending to this [Em]joke
[G]

[Verse 5]
[F]
It meant a lot to me then,
it matters less to me now
All calls are answered
It's no bother,
[Am]I ju[F]st wanted to talk[Dm]
To the direct marketer from Bangalore
or was [G]it [F]Mahabalipuram?

[Verse 6]
He tried to sell me on a credit card
I asked about the weather and
whether his life was [Am]hard
You say your name is [F]Lazlo?
[Am]I don't think that is true
Be[Dm]cause Yar, I know a Lazlo
And he doesn't sound half
as smart as [G]you

[Interlude 3]
[G][Dm][G]

[Verse 7]
I [Em]guess I'll [Esus4]keep on chuc[Dm]kling 'til[G]
there's [E]no [Esus4]more breath in my lungs[Dm][G]
And it [Esus4]really doesn't
matter at [Dm]all[G]
Ha ha
[Esus4][F]

[Verse 8]
[F]War, and rumors of [Am]war
Clouds [F]of [Am]poison in the [Esus4]sky and[E]
[Em]pois[Dm]on in[Am] the [Em]soil[Dm]
Lord, how I wish there was a
better ending to this [G]joke

[Interlude 4]
[G][F]

[Verse 9]
War, and [F]rumors of [E]war
Clouds of poison in the [Am]sky [E]and
poison [Em]in th[Dm]e soil
Lord, how I wish there was a

[Outro 1]
better ending to this joke
[Bm][Am]
