Illegal Smile

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
     G
When I woke up this morning,
D C                       G
   things were looking bad
C                  G             D          C     G
 Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
D                C                     G   C G
 Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and  won
           D                       C
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was
  G      C G
having no  fun
Ah,
    D             G                 C      D    G
but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

[Chorus]
            C                      G
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
         D7
It don't cost very much,
            G            G7
but it lasts a long while
                C                      G
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
       D7             C            G  C
No I'm just trying to have me some fun

[Verse 2]
     G                     D
Last time I checked my bankroll,
C                   G
 it was getting thin
    C                       G             D         C
Sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've
    G D
been
                 C
Chased a rainbow down a oneway street,
G C    G
  dead end
    D                     C             G     C    G
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
Ah,
    D             G                 C      D    G
but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

[Chorus]
            C                      G
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
         D7
It don't cost very much,
            G            G7
but it lasts a long while
                C                      G
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
       D7             C            G  C
No I'm just trying to have me some fun

[Verse 3]
Well,
  G                 D  C                    G
I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
C                  G             D      C            G
 Trying to get away from all the ears inside my walls
D                     C
 I dreamed the police heard everything I thought,
G C    G
  what then?
       D                     C               G    C G
Well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoff_man
Ah,
    D             G                 C      D    G
but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

[Chorus]
            C                      G
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
