Illegal Smile

C                   G        F                   C  
When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad  
F                C              G    F        C  
Seems like total silence is the only friend I have  
G                 F                 C       F   C  
A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won  
           G                       F                   C      F  C  
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was havin' no fun  
        G           C                 F      G    C  
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality  
  

            F                      C  
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile  
         G                      C  
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while  
          F                            C  
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone  
       G              F            C  
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun  
  
Last time I checked my bankroll, well it was gettin' thin  
Sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been  
Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end  
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen  
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality  
  
Chorus  
  
I sat down in my closet with all my overalls  
Just tryin' to get away from all the years inside these walls  
Dreamed the police heard everything I thought... what then?  
Well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman  
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality  
  
Chorus  
F    C     F      C    F          C 
well done, hotdog bun, my sisters a nun.
