Average Joe Lyrics

I just don't

get it. What does she see in him? They're nothing
like we were. Damn he's so
small town. She's such a city girl. I'm abso-
-lutely sure, he's not the one for her. But still
he gets to kiss the queen. While I'm down here on my own
He sits next to her like her king, While I'm in the shadows
He's bland, he's ordinary, He's such a bore but everybody knows
When the curtains close, He'll be kiss-
horus
-ing his queen, I'll just walk
home alone. He's her new
everything. So that makes me the
Average Joe.
I thought we were the
real thing. We were just one wedding ring short, Of a once in a
life time love. Well, now that it's
over I just don't understand, How she thinks they com-
-pare to us. He'll never be good enough. But still
he gets to kiss the queen. While I'm down here on my own
He sits next to her like her king, While I'm in the shadows
He's bland, he's ordinary, He's such a bore but everybody knows
When the curtains close, He'll be kiss-
horus
-ing his queen, I'll just walk
home alone. He's her new
everything. So that makes me the
Average Joe.
*Here I've written out the cello melody for guitar lead with the backing chords on top
ridge
Now I'm a punch line, I'm the story that everyone knows.
Of how even the invisible Can become an Average Joe
No more kissing the queen I'll never sit on the throne
He sits next to her like her king, I'm in the shadows
He's bland, he's ordinary, He's such a bore but everybody knows
When the curtains close, He'll be kiss-
horus/Outro
-ing his queen, I'll just walk
home alone. He's her new
everything. So that makes me the
Average Joe.
