Chords with lyrics
You Never Know from the musical If/Then
Sung by James Snyder :)
A augmentedA E7E7
You never know, how badly this could go
A7A7 B minorBm
I've got disaster written on my cheek
D MajorD
The odds are I'm some two-faced, lying freak
E7E7 A7A7
Who will whisper pretty things, then leave you flat
B minorBm D MajorD
And steal your cat, it might not be that bad
E MajorE
but even so...
A augmentedA E7E7
You never see, the worst that things can be
A7A7 B minorBm
You think you do, 'cause you've been hurt before
D MajorD
Another hurt might hurt you that much more
E7E7 A7A7
And odds are I will do what most men do
B minorBm D MajorD
And hurt you too, 'Cause men are men and odds are odds
E MajorE A augmentedA
although, you never know.
D MajorD
You may think you know the end at the beginning
B minorBm A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
But the truth is, there's no mortal way to tell
D MajorD
And the game's not over 'til the final inning
B minorBm E MajorE
And I'm grinning 'cause this game might just end well.
A augmentedA E7E7
You never know, If I only want your dough
A7A7 B minorBm
I might be on the lam or on the dole
D MajorD
Off my meds or off my nut or on parole
E7E7 A7A7
Or even worse, I might be someone who
B minorBm D MajorD
Is meant for you, And maybe that's the thing to lay you low
E MajorE A augmentedA
You never know,
D MajorD B minorBm
If I'm a drunkard or a dullard, too callous or too clever
D MajorD E MajorE
Or if I might just be the man who's meant to be with you forever
A augmentedA
You never know,
E MajorE
You never ever know.
