Intro
Verse 1
You said the world was magic, I was wide-eyed and laughing
We were dancing up to the bright side
Forget about your ego, forget about your pride
And you will never have to compromise
Short Chorus
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
Verse 2
We talked about our mothers, kissed the wounds of our fathers
I could've been your sister, I would've been your brother
You kissed me like I was a soldier headed for war
I'm a dying man, but I don't know what for [stop]
Chorus
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(Wide-eyed and laughing) (Dancing...)
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
I bruised my heels on the swollen street
We were girls in bars, boys on the town
Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
Verse 4
You said good friends are hard to come by
I laughed and bought you a beer, it's too corny to cry
Well, sentiment given or sentiment lost
You shake it off with a smirk and a toss [stop]
Chorus
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
You were only joking, you were only joking, brother
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(Gravel and glass...) (I bruised my heels...)
You were joking, you were only joking, brother
(You kissed me like a soldier...) (I'm a dying man...)
And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
(...dying man, but I don't know what for...)
