 [The net result of all the instruments is G Em7 C(9) D, which you can
 play as 320033 022033 x32033 x00232, but actually, Amy just plays
 G Em C D, or 320003 022000 x32010 x00232. In other words, Amy never
 plays the D variations; that's Emily's part, way up high on the neck.]
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D G Em7 C(9) Dsus4-D-D (9 fr.)-D
 [intro]
 
 You said the w[G]orld was magic, I was w[Em7]ide-eyed and laughing
 
 C (9 fr.) D
 We were dancing up to the bright side
 
 For[G]get about your ego, for[Em7]get about your pride
 
 C (9 fr.) D D
 And you will never have to compromise
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) Dsus4-D-D (9 fr.)-D
 And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 
 We talked about our mothers, kissed the wounds of our fathers
 I could've been your sister, I would've been your brother
 You kissed me like I was a soldier headed for war
 I'm a dying man, but I don't know what for [stop]
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 (Wide-eyed and laughing) (Dancing...)
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D G Em7 C(9) D G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 [guitar solo]
 
 Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
 I bruised my heels on the swollen street
 We were girls in bars, boys on the town
 Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
 
 You said good friends are hard to come by
 I laughed and bought you a beer, it's too corny to cry
 Well, sentiment given or sentiment lost
 You shake it off with a smirk and a toss [stop]
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 (Gravel and glass...) (I bruised my heels...)
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 You were joking, you were only joking, brother
 (You kissed me like a soldier...) (I'm a dying man...)
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
 (...dying man, but I don't know what for...)
 
 D D [stop]
 And you were only, and you were only, and you were only
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) Dsus4-D-D (9 fr.)-D G [stop] n.C.
 Joking, brother One two three four...
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D G Em7 C(9) D
 [instrumental]
 
 G Em7 C (9 fr.) D
 Sha-la, sha-la, sha-la, sha-la

 Sha-la, sha-la, sha-la, sha-la
 (Wide-eyed and laughing) (Dancing up to the bright side)
