         Gm                  Dm
I knew a guy, let's call him Jeff
         D#               A#
He had a wife that up and left
              Gm                 Dm
Last Thursday night, she saw his texts
            D#        A#
And she was mortified
          Gm                  Dm
It wasn't right, though he confessed
               D#                  A#
That, just one time, he called his ex
           Gm        Dm                D#       A#
She didn't buy it or accept when Jeff apologized
Cm       A#   D#  F
Now he's all alone

Chorus:
Gm              Dm
Something funny that I've learned
    D#               A#
Is just how quickly fate can turn
    Gm            Dm                D#        F
How one simple mistake can take you out (Out, out, out)
 Gm              Dm
Something funny that I've found
   D#               A#
Is just how quickly worlds burn down
     Cm                 A#              D#
Make one wrong turn and you can't turn around
('Round, 'round, 'round)
                    F                    Gm Dm D# A#
One wrong turn can burn things to the ground

I knew a girl, let's call her Jess
She took a drive to buy a dress
But missed the light as it turned red and ran into traffic
She took a right, if she turned left
She'd be alive, would not be dead
She'd have arrived, but now, instead
The end is tragic

Chorus

         D#
But the thing you didn't see comin'
         F
Is that Jeff was Jess' husband
        Gm                             Dm
And the ex he had to call is no longer into boys at all
             D#
It's all one big misunderstanding
      F
Like dominos crash-landing
         Gm                                      Dm
Once the first one falls, they all come tumbling down
     D#            A#
And now he's all alone

Chorus
