Fm                C#         G#
   So this is the end of the movie
D#              Fm
Whoa, whoa, whoa
         C#           G#
But real life isn't a movie
D#       C#
No, no, no

                      G#
You want things to be wrapped up neatly
    D#               Fm
The way that stories do
C#                 G#
You're looking for answers
    D#
But answers aren't looking for you

        Fm                C#             G#
Because life is a gradual series of revelations
       D#                   Fm
That occur over a period of time
              C#                G#
It's not some carefully crafted story
       D#                        C#
It's a mess, and we're all gonna die

             G#                       D#
If you saw a movie that was like real life
                         Fm                  C#
You'd be like, "What the hell was that movie about?
       G#                  D#
It was really all over the place."
                            Fm
Life doesn't make narrative sense
C#        G#    Fm  C#  G#  Fm
      Nuh-uh

( Fm  C#  G#  D#  Fm )

Fm           C#                     G#
  We tell ourselves that we're in a movie
D#          Fm
Whoa, whoa, whoa
               C#                            G#
Each one of us thinks we've got the starring role
D#          C#
Role, role, role

                  G#                   D#
But the truth is, sometimes you're the lead
                        Fm
And sometimes you're an extra
     C#                G#
Just walking by in the background
     D# 
Like me, Josh Groban!

        Fm                C#             G#
Because life is a gradual series of revelations
       D#                   Fm
That occur over a period of time
                  C#                   G#
Some things might happen that seem connected
            D#                     C#
But there's not always a reason or rhyme

              G#                  D#
People aren't characters. They're complicated
          Fm                        C#
And their choices don't always make sense
           G#                       D#
That being said, it's really messed-up
      Fm    C#
That you banged your ex-boyfriend's dad
G#        D#                       Fm
Oh, never bang your ex-boyfriend's dad
