I like this track, though it's not the best off "King Of The Doghouse". Anyway, have fun!
Intro (played over various parts of the chorus and verses too - listen out for it):
e|-------8----8----------|
B|-10-11---11---11-10----|
G|--------------------10-|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|
Play that twice on it's own through the intro, and another guitar begins to play this over it:
e|---5--------5--------9---------9------|
B|-----6--------6--------10--------10---|
G|-5-----5--5-----5--9------9--9------9-|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|
When the streets are empty late at night
Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright
Rain is falling, trees are still
My mind is racing but my heart is as well
It's not funny, it's a shame
He's the greatest fighter in the world
Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl
He'll get better, the scars will heal
His eyes will open but his heart never will
It's not funny, it's a shame
There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone else take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
[Solo - same chords as verse played over the vocal melody (which is played on guitar)]
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-10-7-7--------------10-7-7-------------7------------|
A|--------8-8-----------------8-8-----------10--8-7----|
E|------------8-8-8-9-------------8-8-8-9-----------10-|
He'll get better, the scars will heal
His eyes will open but his heart never will
It's not funny, it's a shame
There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone else take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
Different strokes for different folks, it's true (so true)
Changes in our lives go right on through and through
It gets better as time goes on
But some of us are gonna end up alone
It's not funny, it's a shame
It's not funny, it's a shame
Gm C(hold) F
Oh, it's not funny, it's a shame
[Outro - same chords as intro]
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame...
