Chords

[Verse 1]
G                     C
Soft clouds all drift away                          

G              C
Bright sunshine never stays

     G               C              D
Warm afternoons turn rainy dark and cruel

G                             C
A candle's glowing light will die

    G             C
The purest voices often lie

         G
And with love I've found that all the same

   D
is true
[Chorus]
     C                    D
Even though I should know better

        G        G/F#  Em
I guess we could maybe try

      C              D              G
There is the risk of looking like a fool

             C           D
Ah, But I've got a lucky feeling

       G            G/F#   Em
Just a hunch, don't ask me why

    C                            D
You might be an exception to the rule
[Verse 2]
G                       C
Sweet dreams can't be recalled

     G                      C
High hopes can collapse and fall

       G                 C
As the sky keeps turning sadder shades of

D
blue

    G                         C
The strongest promise finally breaks

    G                    C
And only leads to bigger aches

    G              C
Are lessons that I learned at sorrow's

D       D7
school
[Chorus]
     G                    C
Even though I should know better

        G        G/F#  Em
I guess we could maybe try

      C              D              G
There is the risk of looking like a fool

             C           D
Ah, but I've got a lucky feeling

       G            G/F#   Em
Just a hunch, don't ask me why

    C                            D
You might be an exception to the rule
[Chorus]
     C                    D
Even though I should know better

        G        G/F#  Em
I guess we could maybe try

      C              D              G
There is the risk of looking like a fool

             C           D
Ah, but I've got a lucky feeling

       G            G/F#   Em
Just a hunch, don't ask me why

    C                            D

Ending:
G                     C
Soft clouds all drift away

           G              C
And bright sunshine never stays

        G             D              G
But you might be an exception to the rule
