[E] _ [A] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You walk into the room [Ab] with your pencil in your hand.
_ [C] You see somebody naked and you say, [Am] who is that [D] man?
_ [F] You try so hard but you [Dm] don't understand [C] just what you [Em] will say when [Am] you get home. _
_ [C] Because something [Em] is happening here [Am] but you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You raise up your head [Ab] and you ask, is this where it is?
[C] And somebody points to you and [Am] says, [D] it's his.
[F] And you say, what's mine?
And somebody [Dm] else says, well, what is?
And [C] you say, oh my [Em] God, am I here [Am] all along?
_ _ [C] But something [Em] is happening, [Am] you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [C] [Am] Mr.
John? _ _ _ _ _
_ You hand in your ticket [Ab] and you go watch the geek
[C] who immediately walks up to you and [Am] hears you speak
[F] and says, how does it feel to [Dm] be such a freak?
And [C] you say, impossible, [Em] as he hands you [Am] a bone. _
_ [C] And [Em] something is happening here [Am] but you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _
_ _ _ _ _ You have many contacts [C] among the lumberjacks
[F] to get you facts when somebody attacks [Am] your imagination.
_ _ Nobody has any respect.
[C] Anyway, they already expect you [F] to all give a check to
[Dm] tax-deductible charity [G] organizations. _
_ _ _ Ah, [Am] you've been with the professors.
_ [Ab] They've all liked your looks.
[Am] _ With great lawyers you have discussed lepers [D] and crooks.
[F] You've been through all of F.
[Dm] Scott Fitzgerald's books.
[C] You're very well [Em] read, [Am] it's well known.
_ _ [C] But [Em] something is happening here, [Am] you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _ _ _ _ _
Well, a sword swallower, _ [Ab] he comes up to you and he kneels.
[C] He crosses himself and then he clicks [Gb] his [D] high heels.
_ [F] Without further notice he asks [Dm] you how it feels.
And he [C] says, here's your [Em] throat back, thanks [Am] for the loan. _
_ [C] You know [Em] something is happening here, [Am] you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _
_ _ _ Now you see this one-eyed midget _ [Ab] shouting the word now.
[C] And you say, for what reason?
[D] He says, hi.
_ [F] And you say, what does this mean?
And [Dm] he screams back, you're a cow.
[C] Give me [Em] some milk or [Am] else go home.
_ [C] You know something is [Em] happening here, [Am] but you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _ _ _ _
Well, you walk into the room like a [Ab] camel.
And then you frown.
[C] You put your eyes in your pocket [D] and your nose on the ground.
[F] There ought to be a law against [Dm] you coming around.
[C] You should be [Em] made to wear [Am] _ earphones.
_ [C] Because [Em] something is happening, [Am] you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _
_ [C] Oh, [Em] something is happening, [Am] and you don't know what it is.
[F] Do you, [Am] Mr.
John? _
_ _ _ _ Mr.
John. _
