You Never Know from the musical If/Then
Sung by James Snyder :)
A E7
You never know, how badly this could go
A7 Bm
I've got disaster written on my cheek
D
The odds are I'm some two-faced, lying freak
E7 A7
Who will whisper pretty things, then leave you flat
Bm D
And steal your cat, it might not be that bad
E
but even so...
A E7
You never see, the worst that things can be
A7 Bm
You think you do, 'cause you've been hurt before
D
Another hurt might hurt you that much more
E7 A7
And odds are I will do what most men do
Bm D
And hurt you too, 'Cause men are men and odds are odds
E A
although, you never know.
D
You may think you know the end at the beginning
Bm A Asus2
But the truth is, there's no mortal way to tell
D
And the game's not over 'til the final inning
Bm E
And I'm grinning 'cause this game might just end well.
A E7
You never know, If I only want your dough
A7 Bm
I might be on the lam or on the dole
D
Off my meds or off my nut or on parole
E7 A7
Or even worse, I might be someone who
Bm D
Is meant for you, And maybe that's the thing to lay you low
E A
You never know,
D Bm
If I'm a drunkard or a dullard, too callous or too clever
D E
Or if I might just be the man who's meant to be with you forever
A
You never know,
E A
You never ever know.
