?..I wish I could laugh

[Chorus]
Fadd9  Dadd11   Fmaj7     Gsus4   G      C   D
                  But that joke isn't funny anymore
    Fadd9                       Dadd11
It's too close to home, and it's too near the bone
    Fmaj7           Gsus4   G    C             D
it's too close to home, and it's too near the bone ?

      Fadd9                         Dadd11
and on cold leather seats, well, it suddenly struck me
Fmaj7        Gsus4   G       C           D       Fmaj7 Fmaj7b5  Fmaj7
I just might die ... with a smile on my face after all
A   Fmaj7  G6/E

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
    Gmaj7    G6            Cmaj7   Em9
and now it's happening in mine

                 A       Cmaj7#5  Eaug Cmaj7#5
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
    Gmaj7    G6            Cmaj7   Em9
