[Verse 1]
     D                 G
Each morning my beloved
           D              G
Asks me to open up my eyes
    D              G                D
See what kind of attention I can pay
 
        F
I see a corporate coffee house
                 Dm
Puttin’ up their Christmas decorations
   F                                Dm
Commuter cars all waiting at a light
  F
A line outside the Roxy
        Dm
Full of hopeful conversation
     F                                  Dm
Some local band is playing there tonight
 
  F
A couple walks their dog discussing
Dm
What to eat for dinner
  F                               Dm
A runaway is being read his rights
  F
A hotel hosts a conference called
   Dm
‘Investment For Beginners’
     F
Some high school coach is
                   G
Breaking up a fight
 
 
[Chorus]
              D                      G
But there’s a joke in there somewhere
  D                      G
A joke in there somewhere
  D                      Gm
A joke in there somewhere
              D      G            D
One that I am not prepared to make
 
 
[Instrumental]
D       G       D       G       D       G       D       G
 
 
[Verse 2]
     D                  G
This afternoon my doctor
       D                  G
Had me sit down in a chair
   D                   G                  D
He asks me then to walk him through my day
 
        F
I heard radios bring ball games
      Dm
To an ancient glacial traffic
  F                                  Dm
A starving dog was whimpering in pain
  F
A soundcheck through the alley that sounds like
Dm
Something close to magic
      F                                           Dm
For a traveling dad that’s bound to miss his plane
 
  F
A boomer on a cell phone
        Dm
Talking through party provisions
  F                                 Dm
Beneath the giant bullseye neon sign
              F
And I mention dixie cups and pizza crusts
    Dm
And giant televisions
    F                         G
The allegory of the conga line
 
 
[Chorus]
          D                      G
There’s a joke in there somewhere
  D                      G
A joke in there somewhere
  D                      Gm
A joke in there somewhere
              D      G            D
One that I am not prepared to make
 
 
[Instrumental]
D       G       D       G       D       G       D       G
 
 
[Verse 3]
        D                    G
And now as the sun is setting
          D                  G
I meet my brother for a drink
       D                G                   D
And he asks if I’ve got something on my mind
 
     F
So I tell him about this movie
          Dm
And how I didn’t get the ending
    F                                 Dm
Why do they let the creature get away?
     F
He reminds me that all it is
   Dm
Is costumes and pretending
          F                                        Dm
But there must be something else they’re trying to say
 
            F
About these buildings and the asphalt
         Dm
In their natural habitations
    F                                   Dm
The pigeons, cats and rats and parasites
     F
This wild and dancing city
           Dm
Conducting perfect orchestrations
    F                                 Dm
The way a stranger wishes us goodnight
 
              F
But he says, “every time we’ve sat here
        Dm
Getting nervous for the future
        F                        Dm
We’ve ended up some version of ok
      F
These songs that we are singing
          Dm
Shouldn’t give in to the rumors
            F                                          G
They should give some kind of strength to meet the day”
 
 
[Chorus]
              D                      G
But there’s a joke in there somewhere
  D                      G
A joke in there somewhere
  D                      Gm
A joke in there somewhere
              D       G         D
We just gotta find a way to laugh
              D       Gm
We just gotta find a way
        D
To laugh
 
[Outro]
 
Am      Em      Gm      D
