Regina Spektor


Tom: F

[Intro] Bm  F#m  E  A 
        E  F#m D  E

Bm         F#m
No one laughs at God in a hospital
E              A             E
No one laughs at God in a war
F#m
No one’s laughing at God
        Dbm                      D
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor

Bm         Dm
No one laughs at God
E                   A                       E
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
     F#m
No one’s laughing at God
Dbm
When it’s gotten real late
D
And their kid’s not back from the party yet

Bm         F#m
No one laughs at God
         E                 A                    E
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
F#m
No one’s laughing at God
Dbm                                 D
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken

Bm         F#m
No one laughs at God
E                 A           E
When the cops knock on their door
F#m
And they say we got some bad news, sir
Dbm                D
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood

[Refrão]

          Bm   F#m
But God can be funny
C                                G
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
                   Am
Or when the crazies say He hates us
C                                   D
And they get so red in the head you think they’re 'bout to choke
         Bm  F#m
God can be funny,
C                             G
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way                           
                      Am
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
C                              D
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus

God can be so hilarious
Bm  F#m E A
Ha ha
Ha ha

Bm              F#m
No one laughs at God in a hospital
E              A
No one laughs at God in a war
F#m
No one’s laughing at God
Dbm                          D
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for

Bm    F#m                   E
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
A
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
F#m              Dbm                   D
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
