[Intro] A D/A A D/A [Verse]
        A                     D/A
I was sure growing up I would live the life

    A                  D/A
My mother assumed I'd live

F#m                      F#m/E            Dadd9
Very Jewish, very middle-class, and very straight

       D/E
Where healthy men stayed healthy men

                             A        Dmaj7/A
And marriages were long and great

E7  A   Dmaj7/A   E7  A
I smile, I don't complain

E7  A                           D/A
I'm trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing

A                             D/A
Families aren't what they were

F#m                               F#m/E
Thank God there's a husband and a child

        Dadd9
Whom I adore

D/E               A
But then there's more

D/A       A
So many more

D/A          D/G#  F#m  F#m/E   D
There's always more
[Chorus]
C#7  Badd9/D# C#7/E# F#m F#m/E   D
Life is never what you planned

C#7             F#                A#7  B
Life is moments you can't understand

     D/E     A/E  Dmaj7/E  E7  A/E  Dmaj/E
And that is life

E7  A/E   Dmaj7/E  E7 A/E  Dmaj7/E
I'm plain, I don't astound
[Verse]
E7  A
I hold to the ground

        D/A
As the ground keeps shifting

A                   D/A
Keeping my balance square

F#m                       F#m/E                D
Trying not to care about this man who Marvin loves

D/E             A
But that's my life

D/A            A
He shared my life

D/A      D/G#   F#m  F#m/E  D
Yes, that's my life
[Chorus]
C#7  Badd9/D# C#7/E# F#m  F#m/E    D
Life is never what you planned

C#7              F#               A#7
Life is moments you can't understand

      B  D/E A/E  Dmaj/E  E7  A/E  Dmaj7/E
And that is life
[Verse]
A/E
Holding to the ground

        A7/E                  Aaug/E  B9/E  B7#9/E
As the ground keeps shifting

A/E
Trying to keep sane

        A7/E                Aaug/E  B9/E  B7#9/E
As the rules keep changing

A
Keeping up my head

         A/G#             F#m     A/E  D
As my heart falls out of sight
Eadd9 A/E Eadd9 A/E
Eadd9 A/E              Eadd9 A/E  Eadd9 A/E  Eadd9 A/E
Everything will be all right

D/E                      A     Dmaj7/A  E9add4  A
Everything will be all right
