Just a song from an idea I had written down. The old question: What would you do different if you had it to do over again? Hope you like.
Things Turn Out for a Reason By Jeff Gilpin
May 13, 2007
Verse 1
[A]Dreams, we have all had [Aadd9]dreams[A]
That have not been [D]killed[Ddim] [D]
Nor have been ful[A]filled
So we think back on those [E]dreams, [D]oh those [A]dreams
Verse 2
[A]Life comes with funny [Aadd9]twists[A]
You think that it’s [D]over[Ddim] [D]
With nothing to [A]show for
So we just remi[E]nisce, [D]how we remi[A]nisce
Chorus
[D]Things turn out the way they do for a [A]reason
It’s [E]tough to say whether it’s bad or [A]good[A7]
[D]Mine has sure been short on dis[A]pleasing
But I [E]can’t help thinking what I’d of [D]chosen if I [A]could
Verse3
I [A]wonder who’s traveled this same [Aadd9]road[A]
Took the same turns as [D]I[Ddim] [D]
Asking themselves [A]why
Did they travel this [E]road, this [D]long dusty [A]road
Chorus
[D]Things turn out the way they do for a [A]reason
It’s [E]tough to say whether it’s bad or [A]good[A7]
[D]Mine has sure been short on dis[A]pleasing
But I [E]can’t help thinking what I’d of [D]chosen if I [A]could
Break
[E]So we end up where we end up just like magic
[D]Pulled from the proverbial magician’s hat
[E]Looking around us we feel a tad sick
[D]Wondering how in the heck did he do [E]that[E7]
Verse 4
[A]So we adjust to what we’ve been [Aadd9]dealt[A]
Not the cards we [D]wanted[Ddim] [D]
But live life we [A]sure did
And it’s been heart[E]felt, [D]it has been heart[A]felt
Chorus
[D]Things turn out the way they do for a [A]reason
It’s [E]tough to say whether it’s bad or [A]good[A7]
[D]Mine has sure been short on dis[A]pleasing
But I [E]can’t help thinking what I’d of [D]chosen if I [A]could[A7]
Ending Chorus
[D]Things turned out no quite as I’d i[A]magined
[E]Even so it has not for one moment been [A]dull[A7]
[D]What would I change if I were to begin [A]again
I can think of [E]nothing from a [D]life that’s been so [A]full[E] [D] [A]
