Em7
Let me riddle you a ditty
D C G
It's just an itty bitty little thing on my mind
Em7 D
'bout a boy and a girl tryin' to take on the world,
C G
One kiss at a time
Em7
Now the funny thing about it
D
Ain't a story without it
C G
But the story is mine
Em7 D
And I wish you could say
C G
That it ended just fine
D Em7 C (let ring)
We all wanna know
how it ends
Em7 Cadd9
Oh, happily ever after
G D Em7
wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know?
Cadd9
Oh, skip to the ending
G D
Who'd like to know?
Em7
I'd like to know!
Cadd9
Author of the moment
G D
Can you tell me?
Em7 Cadd9 G D
Do I end up, do I end up happy?
(same chords in 2nd stanza)
Inhale, breathe steady, exhale like you're ready
If you're ready or not
Just a boy and a girl gonna take on the world,
and we wanna get caught
In the middle of a very happy ending
Let's see what we've got
Let's give it a shot
Let's give it a shot
We all wanna know
how it ends
Oh, happily ever after
wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know?
Oh, skip to the ending
Who'd like to know?
I'd like to know!
Author of the moment
Can you tell me?
Do I end up, do I end up happy?
G D Em7 Cadd9
We all have a story to tell
G D Em7 Cadd9
Whether we whisper or yell
G D
we all have a story,
Em7 Cadd9
of adolescence and all it's glory, we
G D Cadd9 (let ring)
all have a story to tell
Oh, happily ever after
wouldn't you know, wouldn't you know?
Oh, skip to the ending
Who'd like to know?
I'd like to know!
Author of the moment
Can you tell me?
Do I end up, do I end up happy?
