Illegal Smile John Prine
ILLEGAL SMILE - John Prine (Key of D)
W[G]hen I woke up this m[D]orning, th[C]ings were lookin' b[G]ad
S[C]eems like total si[G]lence is the on[D]ly fri[C]end I ha[G]ve
A [D]bowl of oatmeal tr[C]ied to stare me do[G]wn... a[C]nd w[G]on
And it was t[D]welve o'clock before I re[C]alized that I was ha[G]vin' n[C]o f[G]un
Ah, but [D]fortunately [G]I have the key to e[C]scape r[D]eali[G]ty
And you may s[C]ee me tonight with an il[G]legal smile
It don't c[D]ost very much, but it la[G]sts a long while
Won't you p[C]lease tell the man I didn't k[G]ill anyone
No I'm j[D]ust tryin' to h[C]ave me some f[G]un
L[G]ast time I checked my b[D]ankroll, well[C] it was gettin' t[G]hin
S[C]ometimes it seems like the [G]bottom is the o[D]nly p[C]lace I've b[G]een
Ch[D]ased a rainbow d[C]own a one-way st[G]reet... d[C]ead e[G]nd
And a[D]ll my friends turned [C]out to be ins[G]urance s[C]alesm[G]en
Ah, but [D]fortunately [G]I have the key to e[C]scape r[D]eali[G]ty
Chorus
I[G] sat down in my c[D]loset with a[C]ll my overa[G]lls
Just [C]tryin' to get away[G] from all the y[D]ears ins[C]ide these w[G]alls
D[D]reamed the police h[C]eard everything I th[G]ought... w[C]hat t[G]hen?
Well I[D] went to court and the j[C]udge's name [G]was H[C]offm[G]an
Ah, but [D]fortunately [G]I have the key to e[C]scape r[D]eali[G]ty
Chorus
w[C]ell d[G]one, h[C]otdog b[G]un, my[C] sisters a [G]nun.
