lyrics

If Then... Why
CAPO 5

D G
If I was supposed to be A leopard in a fuzzy tree
D A
Then why can’t climb around at all my dear
D G
If I was destined for greatness like in times of yore
D A D
Then why do I have this here cauliflower ear
D G
If I had such great potential my smile was quintessential
D A
Then why did my teeth turn out crooked and brown
D G
If my future was so bright my possibilities were out of site
D A D
Then why am I such a dang fool of a clown

Chorus
G D
Nothing is at it seems when your living life through your dreams
A G A D
When disappointment grows inside it shows on your face as pride

If it was what nature intended for me to do something splendid
Then Why is my left foot bigger then my right
If my prospects were so high I could rise up to the sky
Then Why did I not grow wings when I needed flight

Chorus

D G
If I was supposed to be A leopard in a fuzzy tree
D A
Then why can’t climb around at all my dear
D G
If I was destined for greatness like in times of yore
D A D
Then why do I have this here saggy little rear

Chorus
