[Intro] F Dm7 C F Dm7 Csus4 F Dm7 F F G Dm C7 Csus4 F Gsus4 Dm Dm7 F F G Dm Dm7 F F Gsus4 Dm C [Chorus]
F  Dm  C          F  G Dm  F
Strange as it may be

F      Gsus4       Dm        C            F    G Dm C
Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

      F    Dm  C           F    G  Dm C
Like going to war to make peace

F              G7  Dm  C                  F    G Dm C
Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems
[Verse 1]
         F       C             Dm  C         F    G Dm C
Like the old man out there he lives on the streets

          F                      G     Dm C         F    G Dm C
And now he is asking for a dollar off everybody he meets

        F                       G    Dm C         F    G Dm C
Never knew he used to be a millionaire on wall street

        F                    Dm  C          F    G
Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems
[Verse 2]
Dm C             F                  Dm  C             F    G Dm C
Just like that plane you are late for leaving without you

             F                Dm  C                     F    G Dm C
And now it changes all you plans and puts you in a bad mood

           F                   Dm   C                                    F    G Dm C
And that plane ends up crashing but at the time man you would not have a clue

         F             Dm     C                                 F    G Dm C
That being late could be so good and life is strange and this true
[Verse 3]
   F        Dm C                             F    G Dm C
So sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

   F         Dm  C                      F    G Dm C
Sometimes good presents come in bad wrapping

   F    Dm C       F    G Dm C
Strange as it may be

   F          Dm C                      F    G Dm C
Sometimes bad presents come in good wrapping
[Verse 4]
     F          Dm C                         F    G Dm C
Just like our Prime Minister with his new policy

     F          Dm C                             F    G Dm C
Called the RFA he says he wants to save the old trees

          F                    Dm C                                          F    G Dm C
You have a look at what he has come up with his business mates and you will see

          F                 Dm C                                     F    G Dm C
That the man could not give a shit and some things ain't what they seem
[Verse 5]
                      F          Dm C            F    G Dm C
Just like that environmental day sponsored by Shell

           F               Dm C                         F    G Dm C
So we can all endorse the killing and go straight to hell

            F                    Dm C                   F    G Dm C
It's like Bunnings saying they're supporting your community

                F                     Dm C                            F    G
While they're chopping it right down and some things ain't what they seem
[Bridge]
A              Bb
   Oh I won't forget

A     Bb                  A                          Bb
Everything you know it's happening, happening for a reason

          A                          Bb
So there ain't no need, no need in worrying Ooh
N.C. Just get your job done [Solo] F Dm C F G Dm C (x4) [Chorus]
F  Dm  C          F  G Dm  F
Strange as it may be

F      Gsus4       Dm        C            F    G Dm C
Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

      F    Dm  C           F    G  Dm C
Like going to war to make peace

F           G7  Dm  C                     F    G Dm C
Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems
[Outro] F Dm C F G Dm C (x4) F
