[Intro]
C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G
It was a good time
C G
Just a bad decision
C G
We were all wrapped up
D C
With the best intentions
C G
You were out of my league
C G
And I was running out of time
C G
To string together words
D C
That were gonna make you mine
[Chorus]
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how every now and then
D C
The unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes
[Verse 2]
C G
Thirty nine years
C G
You've been putting up with me
C G
You're folks said we'd never
D C
See our first anniversary
C G
Do you remember that first week
C G
When you burnt that pecan pie
C G
And I ate the whole damn thing
D C
I couldn't stand to see you cry
[Chorus]
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how every now and then
D C
The unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes
[Verse 3]
C G
Then you got sick
C G
And things just weren't the same
C G
There were days I'd come to visit
D C
And you didn't even know my name
C G
Then I watched you fade away
C G
While I was holding tight to you
C G
Until the nurses pulled me back
D C
And said there's nothing you can do
[Chorus]
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how every now and then
D C
The unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes
[Verse 4]
C G
It's been two years to the day
C G
Since you left me here alone
C G
Most days I sit there in the kitchen
D C
Waiting for you to come home
C G
Yeah I'm still haunted by your ghost
C G
I can't sleep in our old bed
C G
I just lay there on the couch
D C
Thinking bout the words you said
[Chorus]
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how it all works out
G C
Ain't it funny how every now and then
D C
The unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes
