[Intro 1]
[C]
[Csus4][C]

[Verse 1]
There was this guy, he [C]was
down on his luck
He was truly poverty's child
[Csus4]Well, he [C]had no home
and he had no [Csus4]car
[C]And he wore a weary smi[Csus4]le
[F]Moved out to l.a.,
knocked around for awhile
But he was getting nowhere
Then [C]he did this movie and
it did really [Csus4]well[C]
Now he's [Csus4]a millionaire
[Eb]See, [Dm]life is a curi[C]ous thing
[Eb]Life, oo[Dm]h life is a cu[Gm]rious th[C]ing

[Interlude 1]
[Csus4][C]

[Verse 2]
I know a man who [C]could
paint the town [Csus4]red
[C]Had a college degree in fun
[Csus4]'till the[C] doorbell rang and
a long lost flame said
"this little boy is your [Csus4]son"[F]
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
Left 'em in a cloud of dust
[C]Now he's checking out schools
and driving carpools
Learning to [Csus4]adjust
He says [Eb]life [Dm]is a curious thin[C]g
[Eb]Life, oo[Dm]h life is a curious thing
[C]

[Verse 3]
[Csus4]
Well, [C]I k[F]now that it can be demanding
I [C]know that it can be unkind
[F]I don't really understand it
[G]But lord sure [Ebdim]knows I[Dm][F]
[Dm]try[C][Csus4][C][Eb]
[Dm]Life is a curious [C]thing
[Eb]Life, oo[Dm]h life is a curious

[Interlude 2]
thing
[C][Csus4][C]

[Verse 4]
Let me tell you 'bout a [C]kid I knew
A pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
Object of [Csus4]ridicule[C]
[F]The other day in the check out line
They were ringing up my
rice and [Csus4]beans
[C]There she was, a pretty little face
On the cover of [Csus4]a magazine
And I [Eb]said [Dm]life is a curious [C]thing
[Eb]Life, oo[Dm]h life is a curious
[C]thing[F][C][F]
[G](chorus)

[Verse 5]
Just [F#dim]goes[Ebdim][Cdim][C]
to show that you never know
Just what tomorrow may bring
But I'll tell you this that what it [Csus4]is
[C]Is seldom what it [F]seem[C]s
[C]'cause [Eb]life[Dm][C][Eb][Dm][C]
[Eb]is a[Dm] curious thing[C]
[Eb]Life, ooh [Dm]life is a curi[C]ous thing. . .
