You may think that the Baudelaire’s ought to prevail
G Em
And be tucked somewhere all safe and sound
C Cm
Count Olaf captured and rotting in jail
G B
His Hench people nowhere around
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 this story goes
G Em
You might think that two parents both brave and both true
G Em
Would live to a nice ripe old age
C Cm
But I’m sad to say I have bad news for you
G B
The curtain rains down on the stage
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 this story goes
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

But that’s not how this story goes
Am D

But to me there’s nothing but gloom and despairs
Em D
That’s just how the story goes
That’s just how the story g-cough cough cough
