[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 B(#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
