 The G, F, and C chords often alternate between middle finger and open -- the reader may
 these as desired.
Some  things don't work out  like they should
 Bang my head  against your walls  but it ain't no good
 'Cause I'm screaming  at you
 And you're screaming  at me
'Bout  what I think you should do
 And how you wish I could be
'Bout  what I think you should do
 And how you wish  I could  be
So  I raise my glass
 I ain't never  seen a face  so fine
You  walk on past
 And I wonder  if you'll really  come back  this time
I  did the best that I could
 But some  things don't work out  like they  should
 I did the best that I could
 Did the best that I could
 We did the best that we could
 But some things don't work out like they should
 No, some things don't work out like they should
 Darling, some things don't work out at all

[C]Some things don't work [G]out like they shoul[F]d
Bang my h[C]ead against your [G]walls but it ain't no g[F]ood
'Cause I'm [C]screaming at y[G]ou

[C]'Bout what I think you should d[G]o
And how you wish I could [F]be

And I [C]wonder if you'll [B]really come b[Am]ack this time

Did the best that I could

We did the best that we could

But some things don't work out like they should

No, some things don't work out like they should

Darling, some things don't work out at all
