D        A                         Em            G
I had a plan that you and I would go off into eternity
D           A                        Em    G
We d drive away and never ever come back, yeah
D        A                     Em            G
I had it all worked out and I wished on my lucky star that
D                        A                     Em  G
Everything I hoped and dreamed would all come true

Em       A         D    G       
Then my mama came up to me and said
Em        A           D     G
Baby dont wish your heart out cuz I
Em             A            D        G
Dont want you to have to learn the hard way that
Em              A
Well, baby, sometimes

D                      A                                        
You re not always gona get your perfect story
Em                   G                D
Not everything will turn out as they seem
                  A                Em                                      
Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing
            G     A         D
Till the pieces come together
                    A             Em                           
I know how hard it is to not lose faith
                    G              D
When everything is not going your way
                       A         Em
But you really got to think about it
           G         A         D
And well maybe its for the better

D        A                   Em             G                   D
I drove into school on Monday, the day when you and I were gona fly
       A                      Em            G
And I stood there waiting for you to come along
D              A                      Em             
I watched you pull up in your car and get out and
G                  D       
walk over to your friends 
                 A               Em                G
You didnt even see me standing there waiting for you

Em           A           D           G
I felt like running and hiding and crying
   Em       A         D     G
And never showing my face again
Em                A      D          G     Em                  A     
I felt like there was no hope in anything ever turning right again

Because

D                       A                                        
You re not always gona get your perfect story
Em                   G                D
Not everything will turn out as they seem
                  A               Em       
Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing
            G     A    D
Till the pieces come together
                   A              Em                                
I know how hard it is to not lose faith
                   G              D

                        A         Em
But you really got to think about it                
           G         A       D
And well maybe its for the better


Em          A                                   
I stayed up all night thinking bout how 
D               G
Everything had gone all wrong
Em           A                D           G
Felt like I would never ever see the sun again
Em          A                         D          G
I tried to think and bring something good out of it
       Em              A
And so now at least I know

D                       A

Not everything will turn out as they seem
D                       A
