[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

       Em              D
That's just how the story goes
[Outro] (whistling) G Em G Em Cm G B7 B7 Em (let ring)
