	Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
	When you think everything is okay and everything's going right
	And life has a funny way of helping you out when you think
	Everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face


Verse 3:         
            F#      B                F#      G#m

          It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
          
	  (No instruments on these last two lines)         
          
          It's like meeting the man of my dreams

          And then meeting his beautiful wife

          (Bongo drums Fill-in)
 


                         F#    B             F#     G#m

           And who would have thought...  It figures?
