I Wish I Was Your Joke

[Verse 1] A F# Exercisin’ in the midnight zone A F# Under the twilight we will find a home Bm A F# A roof and walls upon a starry sky where we’ll reside and sparks will fly [Verse 2] A F# Start to talk and then your diction slips A F# Miss the punchline you could use a script Bm A You’re laughing at yourself and so is everybody else left in this place [Pre-Chorus] D Well the faster that you come E The sooner that you leave D I must be going down E ‘Cause I can hardly breathe Chorus A I wish I was your joke F# Passed around in sordid bars Bm When you can’t drive your car anymore D You’ll keep me in your back pocket Dm Use me then you’ll ignore it A F# I don’t mind [Verse 3] A F# Use me once in May and then in June A F# Once a month, well I don’t mind that tune Bm Explore your expectations, baby, more is what you seek A And what you’ll find [Pre-Chorus] D Well the faster that you come E The sooner that you leave D I must be going down E ‘Cause I can hardly breathe Chorus A I wish I was your joke F# Passed around in sordid bars Bm When you can’t drive your car anymore D You’ll keep me in your back pocket Dm Use me then you’ll ignore it Bridge A F# I don’t mind at all, I’ll be your late night call A F# Wait for your heart to fall, I’m your lover boy, baby doll Bm A F# Well this striking inclination, my desire for your affection’s got me Sprung Outro D Well the faster that you come E The sooner that you leave D I must be going down E ‘Cause I can hardly breathe D You’ll keep me in your back pocket Dm Use me then you’ll ignore it A I don’t mind
