Life Of Surprises by Prefab Sprout
Life Of Surprises
[Verse 1]
A B
You can keep the good times righteousness
E F#m
The best parting line
A B E F#m
Rather then pretend we are A1 ultrafine
A B E F#m
Shall I be the first then to say what we have found
A B E F#m
There's something in our lifetime won't let us settle down
[Chorus]
C#m A F#m
Darling it's a life of surprises
C#m A F#m
It's no help growing older or wiser

You don't have to pretend you're not crying
C#m A F#m
When it's even in the way that you're walking
[Verse 2]
A B E F#m
Never let your conscience be harmful to your health
A B E F#m
Let no neurotic impulse turn inward on itself
A B E F#m
Just say that you were happy, as happy would allow
A B E F#m
And tell yourself that that will have to do for now
[Chorus]
