Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]If [G]I s[D]tar[E]t w[G]ith[D] the cho[G]r
[D]us as I progre[G]ss with this son[D]g
even [G]though it's arse
over back[D]ward[E]s
some[Em]times it [G]pays to be [D]wrong

[Verse 2]
When [D]your [G]life is in a tur[D]moil
be it [G]sad or incomplete
[D]no use crying[G] over spi[D]lt mil[E]k
think like a [G]cat and be [D]pleased

[Verse 3]
This is the [D]verse [E]thi[F#sus4]s
is [F#]the sound of my life
and [Bm]I for one can't ta[F#]ke it[Bm][Em]
funny how [C#m]things just go from bad to [F#]worse
it never [D]stops until [G]it [Gm]really hurts[D][E][G]
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[E][G][D][E][G][D][E][Em][Asus4][D]

[Verse 4]
When [D]your [G]life is in [D]a quandary
be it [E]sad [G]or inc[D]omplete
think of [G]those worse off than you [D]perhaps
[E]might give some kin[G]d of relief

[Verse 5]
[D]This is the ver[E]se thi[F#sus4]s
is [F#]the sound of my life
and [Bm]I for one can't take it[Em]
you know she's [C#dim]not she's
all cracked up to [F#]be
you're better [D]off without her
wait and see
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Gm]
[D]If I [G]start with the [D]chorus as I
pro[G]gress with [D]this song
even [E]though [Bm]it's arse [G]over
back[D]ward[E]s
sometimes it [Asus4]pays to be wrong
[D]
