That's Not How the Story Goes
from "A Series of Unfortunate Events"
190-200bpm
Played in 3
These chords are correct to the original recording of this song, which can be found in Episode 8
("The Miserable Mill, Part Two") of the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series on Netflix.
Notes on playing: I have chosen to make the transition chord a B7 rather than a regular B to completely
eliminate the need for barre chords, although the song can be played with a B instead. The entire song can
be played with barre chords, however I have also listed the exact chords I play below.
The following is a link to my cover of the song I posted on YouTube using these chords. I hope you enjoy!

[Intro]
G B Em B7 (whistling)
[Verse 1]
G Em You may think that the Baudelaire's ought to prevail G Em And be tucked someplace all safe and sound Cm G Count Olaf captured and rotting in jail B7 His Hench-people nowhere around
[Chorus]
C D But there's no happy endings not here and not now G Em This tale is all sorrows and woes C D You dream that justice and peace win the day Em D But that's not how the story goes
[Verse 2]
G Em You might think that two parents both brave and both true G Em Would live 'til a nice ripe old age Cm G But I'm sad to say I have bad news for you B7 The curtain rains down on the stage
[Chorus]
C D Yes, there's no happy endings not here and not now G Em This tale is all sorrows and woes C D You might dream that justice and peace win the day Em D But that's not how the story goes
[Bridge]
D F#m I once loved a girl and she thought well of me D F#m We thought we'd be happy together C G But now I'm alone as you can well see B7 And she's cold in her grave forever
[Chorus]
C D There's no happy endings not here and not now G Em This tale is all sorrows and woes C D You might dream that justice and peace win the day Em D But that's not how this story goes
[Verse 3]
G Em The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants G Em And other dire hideous clothes Cm G You may think that three children would lead pleasant lives B7 But that's not how the story goes
[Verse 4]
C D Some people smile at the end of the day G Em Some people laugh I suppose C D But to me there's nothing but gloom and despair Em D That's just how the story goes
That's just how the story goes
[Outro] (whistling)
