Lyrics
Life keeps you guessing
Maybe capot 3 (so Cm)
Am
Life keeps you guessing
GD
Who knows what is coming at you round the bend
Am
No use in stressing
G D
Life’s uncertain on that you can depend
Bm A
You think you see your future heading down the track
Bm A
Everything’s so clear set out in white and black
Em A BmE7
But just out of sight it could be doubling back
C G D
It don’t care about your plans
Life keeps you guessingYou can’t be rigid when the fates are in play
Contingency is pressingShould you be fighting or just running away
Or looking for the chance to take that unexpected turn
Dealing with fluidity’s the only way to learn
Better to be flexible than crash and burnYour future’s in your hands
F#mG
But in between these moments of activity
D G D
For many life runs smooth
F#m G
so cultivate an appreciative proclivity
A DA
Your inner state to soothe
F#m G
The beauty of the sun upon a petal
DGD
The peace beneath a tree
Em G
The natural world will keep you to your metal
CD
If you set your spirit free
Life keeps you guessing keep your options open if you’re hoping to thrive
Treat it as a blessingchange is the thing that lets you know you’re alive
Life can get boring if it all runs to smooth
You may be certain you have nothing to prove
But hell is stagnation, ain’t that the truth
