I knew a [Gm] guy, let's call him Jeff [Dm]
He had a [Eb] wife that up and [Fsus4] left [F]
Last Thursday [Gm] night, she saw his [Dm] texts
And she was [Eb] mortified [Fsus4] [F]
It wasn't [Gm] right, though he [Dm] confessed
That, just one [Eb] time, he called his ex [Fsus4] [F]
She didn't [Gm] buy it or accept [Dm] when Jeff [Eb] apologized [Fsus4] [F]
[Cm] Now he's [Dm] all alone [Eb] [Fsus4]
[Gm] Something funny [Dm] that I've learned
Is [Eb] just how quickly [F] fate can turn
How [Gm] one simple mistake [Dm] can take you out [Eb] (Out, [F] out, out)
[Gm] Something funny [Dm] that I've found
Is [Eb] just how quickly [F] worlds burn down
Make [Cm] one wrong turn and [Dm] you can't turn [Eb] around ('Round, [F] 'round, 'round)
[Cm] One wrong turn can [Dm] burn things to the [Gm] ground [Dm] [Eb] [Fsus4]
I knew a [Gm] girl, let's call her Jess [Dm]
She took a drive [Eb] to buy a dress [Fsus4] [F]
But missed the [Gm] light as it turned [Dm] red and ran into [Eb] traffic [Fsus4] [F]
She took a [Gm] right, if she turned [Dm] left
She'd be alive [Eb] , would not be dead [Fsus4] [F]
She'd have arrived [Cm] , but now, instead [Dm]
The end is [Eb] tragic [Fsus4]
[Gm] Something funny [Dm] that I've learned
Is [Eb] just how quickly [F] fate can turn
How [Gm] one simple mistake [Dm] can take you out [Eb] (Out, [F] out, out)
[Gm] Something funny [Dm] that I've found
Is [Eb] just how quickly [F] worlds burn down
Make [Cm] one wrong turn and [Dm] you can't turn [Eb] around ('Round, [F] 'round, 'round)
[Cm] One wrong turn can [Dm] burn things to the [Gm] ground
But the [Eb] thing you didn't see comin'
Is that [F] Jeff was Jess' husband
And the [Gm] ex he had to call is no longer [Dm] into boys at all
It's all one [Eb] big misunderstanding
Like [Dm] dominos crash-landing
Once the [Gm] first one falls, they all come tumbling [Dm] down
And [Eb] now he's all alone
[Gm] Something funny [Dm] that I've learned
Is [Eb] just how quickly [F] fate can turn
How [Gm] one simple mistake [Dm] can take you out [Eb] (Out, [F] out, out)
[Gm] Something funny [Dm] that I've found
Is [Eb] just how quickly [F] worlds burn down
Make [Cm] one wrong turn and [Dm] you can't turn [Eb] around ('Round, [F] 'round, 'round)
[Cm] One wrong turn can [Dm] burn things to the [Gm] ground
[Dm] [Eb] [Fsus4] [F] x2
Outro: [Gm] [Dm] [Eb] [Fsus4] [F] x3
[Cm] [Dm] [Eb] [Fsus4]
