That's Not How The Story Goes Tab par Lemony Snicket

G                           Em

You may think that the Baudelaire’s ought to prevail
        G                              Em

And be tucked somewhere all safe and sound
C                          Cm

Count Olaf captured and rotting in jail

      G             B

His Hench people nowhere around



             C                     D

But there’s no happy endings, not here and not now
       G                      Em

This tale is all sorrows and woes
     C                       D 

You dream that justice and peace win the day
            Em                  D

But that’s not how this story goes


           G                           Em

You might think that two parents, both brave and both true
        G                              Em

Would live to a nice ripe old age
C                          Cm

But I’m sad to say I have bad news for you
      G             B

The curtain rains down on the stage



             C                     D

Yes, there’s no happy endings, not here and not now
       G                      Em

This tale is all sorrows and woes
           C                       D 

You might dream that justice and peace win the day
            Em                  D

But that’s not how this story goes


                        Em

The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants
           G               Em

And other dire, hideous clothes
          Cm                                    G

You may think that three children would lead pleasant lives
                         B

But that’s not how this story goes


        Am                D

Some people smile at the end of the day
       G               Em

Some people laugh I suppose
        C                        D

But to me there’s nothing but gloom and despairs
             Em            D

That’s just how the story goes

That’s just how the story g-cough cough cough
