I WAS ONLY JOKING (transporte en 1) 
 
            
  A                 Amaj7 
  Ever since I was a kid at school 
A7                     D 
  I messed around with all the rules, 
Dm                  A 
  apologised, then realised 
            E             A 
  I'm not different after all. 
 
            
   A                        Amaj7 
  Me and the boys thought we had it sussed, 
A7                  D 
  Valentinos all of us. 
Dm                         A 
  My dad said we looked ridiculous, 
       E                  A 
  but boy, we broke some hearts. 
            
 
 A                  Amaj7 
  In and out of jobs, running free, 
A7                   D 
  waging war with society. 
Dm                         A 
  Dumb blank faces stared back at me 
       E             A 
  but nothing ever changed. 
            
 
    A                 Amaj7 
  Promises made in the heat of the night 
A7                         D 
  creeping home before it got to light. 
Dm                    A 
  I wasted all that precious time 
        E               A 
  and blamed it on the wine 
            
 
              D         A 
  I was only joking my dear, 
                 D              A 
  looking for a way to hide my fear. 
                D       A 
  What kind of fool was I? 
           E 
  I could never win. 
            
 
 A             Amaj7 
  Never found a compromise, 
A7                       D 
  collected lovers like butterflies. 
Dm                    A 
  Illusions of that grand first prize 
        E              A 
  are slowly wearing thin. 
 
             
   A                  Amaj7 
  Susy, baby, you were good to me 
A7               D 
  giving love unselfishly, 
Dm                A 
  but you took it all too seriously, 
      E             A 
  I guess it had to end. 
            
            
              D         A 
  I was only joking my dear, 
                 D              A 
  looking for a way to hide my fear. 
                D       A 
  What kind of fool was I? 
           E 
  I could never win. 
 
            
 A                Amaj7 
  Now you ask me if I'm sincere; 
A7                           D 
  that's the question that I always fear. 
Dm                A 
  Verse seven is never clear, 
            E                 A 
  but I'll tell you what you want to hear. 
 
            
 A                 Amaj7 
  I try to give you all you want, 
A7                             D 
  but giving love is not my strongest point. 
Dm                         A 
  If that's the case it's pointless going on, 
       E          A 
  I'd rather be alone. 
 
            
 A               Amaj7 
  'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong, 
A7                     D 
  pouring my heart out in a song. 
Dm                   A 
  Owning up for prosperity 
            E                  A 
  for the whole damn world to see. 
 
            
 A                   Amaj7 
  Quietly now while I turn a page, 
A7                         D 
  act one is over without costume change; 
Dm                             A 
  the principal would like to leave the stage, 
        E                A 
  the crowd don't understand.
