G Em7 Am C G Em Am


[Verse 1]
G                 Am   C
Curl up my little fish
G   Em   Am
Red cellophane
G    Em           Am      C
Curl up my little fortune fish
G            C
What will be my fate?
     Em7              Am     C
Gold treasures in the ground?
G  Em7            Am
Misfortune on the open sea
G               Am     C
Or wake up in a hotel in
       G     C       G
Some foreign country?


[Chorus]
G             Am7
The world's a sudden place
   G          Am7
It turns on a dime
        G     F        Am7
And the night falls so suddenly
    G F Am7
Sometimes


[Verse 2]
G    Em          Am7  C
Such interesting times
G  Em            Am7
We say it like a joke
G Em             Am    C
Reminds me, even Notre Dame
G      C     G
Can go up in smoke
              C     D
It can all go up in smoke


[Chorus]
    G         Am7
The world's a sudden place
   G          Am7
It turns on a dime
        G     F        Am7
And the night falls so suddenly
    G F Am7
Sometimes


[Bridge]
  C        G         Am7
A thousand miles, an hour it turns
C      G     A7
And it never slows
  C      G        Am7
A wonder we ain't hurled into space
    D
How folks hang on
D
I'll never know


[Interlude]
G  Am7  G  Am7
G  Am7  G  Am7


[Bridge]
  C        G         Am7
A thousand miles, an hour it turns
C      G     A7
And it never slows
  C      G        Am7
A wonder we ain't hurled into space
    D
How folks hang on
D
I'll never know


[Chorus]
    G         Am7
The world's a sudden place
   G          Am7
It turns on a dime
G              Am7
Night falls so suddenly
    G  Am7
Sometimes


[Interlude]
G  Am7  G  Am7
G  Am7  G  Am7


[Post-Chorus]
    G         Am7
The world's a sudden place
   G          Am7
It turns on a dime
    G         Am7
The world's a sudden place
    G    Am7
Sometimes


[Outro]
G     Am7               G  Am7
The world's a sudden place
G     Am7               G  Am7
The world's a sudden place
