Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 When you walked in,  I said with a grin
 That we were just talking  about you
 We all had to lie  because you would cry
 If you knew we were laughing  at you
 In the momentary lull  before the band  begins to play
 There's an overwhelming stench  of alibi
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour  of the situation
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour  of the situation
 I said on the phone "Don't wait 'till I'm home"
 But I'm sure I could hear you crying
 I said where I was, but you doubt it because
 It's the caller I.D. you're buying
 In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
 You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn
 (x2)
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 Have you heard  the one  about the  boy
 Who moved into  the henhouse  to sleep?
 He woke up  with egg  on his face
 When he found  out all the hens  had crossed the street
 (x2)
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me
 I felt a chill because I was still
 Wearing the emperor's new clothes
 My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed
 While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house
 I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
 As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:
 (x3)
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
