[Bm]
You walk into the room [A#] with your pencil [F#] in your hand.
[D] You see somebody naked and you [E] say, who is that man?
[G] You try so hard but [Em] you don't understand [D] just what you [F#m] will say when you [Bm] get home.
[D] Because something [F#m] is happening here [Bm] and you don't know what it is, [G] do you?
[Bm] No.
Well, you walk into the room [F#] and then you ask, is this where it is?
[D]
Somebody points to you [G#] and says, it's [G] his.
And you say, [Bm] what's mine?
Somebody [Em] else says, well, what is?
[D] And you say, oh my God, [F#m] am I here all [Bm] alone?
But something is [F#m] happening here and [Bm] you don't know what it is, [G] do you?
[Bm] Mr.
Stone.
Well, you hand in your ticket [A#] to go watch the geek [D] who suddenly comes up to you
[G#] when he hears you speak [G] and says, how does it feel [Em] to be such a freak?
And [D] you say, impossible, [F#m] as he hands [Bm] you a phone.
[D] God, something [F#m] is happening [Bm] here and you don't know what it is, [G] do you?
[Bm] Mr.
Stone.
Well, you have many [D] contacts among the lumberjacks [G] to get you back when someone attacks your [Bm] imagination.
But nobody has any [D] respect, any way they already expect [G] you just to sign over a check [Em] to tax deductible charity [A] organization.
[Bm]
You've been with professors [F#] and they've all liked your look.
[D] With great lawyers you [G#] have discussed lepers and [G] crooks.
You've been through all of F.
[Em] Scott Fitzgerald's books.
[D] Oh, yes, you're [F#m] very well read.
[Bm] It's well known.
[D] But something is happening here [Bm] and you don't know what it is, [G] do you?
[Bm]
Well, the sword swallower, he comes [A#] up to you and then he kneels.
[D] He crosses himself and [E] then he flicks his high heel.
[G] And without further notice he [Em] asks how it feels.
And [D] he says, here is your [F#m] throat back.
Thanks [Bm] for the loan.
[D] And something [F#m] is happening here and [Bm] you don't know what it is, [G] do you?
[Bm]
You see this one-eyed midget [A#] shouting the word now.
[D] And you say, for what reason?
[G#] And he says, how?
[G] And you say, what does this mean?
And [Em] he screams back, you're a [D] cow.
Give me some [F#m] milk or I'll go [Bm] home.
And [D] you know something [F#m] is happening but you [Bm] don't know what it is, [G] do you?
[Bm] Well, you walk into the room like [A#] a camel and then you frown.
[D] You put your eyes in your pocket and [G#] your nose on the ground.
[G] There ought to be a law [Em] against you coming around.
You [D] should be made to [F#m] be wearing [Bm] earphones.
Because [D] something [F#m] is happening here but [Bm] you don't know what it [G] is, do you?
[Bm] Mr.
Jones.
You walk into the room [A#] with your pencil [F#] in your hand.
