Intro
Gm, G
Verse 1
Hey [G]life, look at [C]me; I can [D7]see the [G]reali-ty.
'Cos when you [G]shook me, took me [C]out of my [Am]world;
I [A#]woke up,[D#] suddenly I just [G#]woke up,[D7] to The Happen-ing.
[G] When you [C]find, that you [D7]left the future [G]be-hind.
'Cos when you [G]got a tender [C]love you [Am]don't take [A#]care of,[D#]
Then you better [G#]be-ware of;[D7] The [G][F]Happen-ing.[G][F#]
Bridge 1
[G] One [G/F#]day [G/E]you-re [D7]up, (one day you're up),
When you turn [G]a-round, (when you turn around).
You'll find your [B7]world, (You'll find your world),
Is tumblin' [Em]down, (is tumblin' down).
It happened [D]to me, and it can [D7]happen to [G]you.[G7]
Verse 2
I was [G]sure, I felt [C]se-cure, until [D7]love took a [G]de-tour.
Yeah, [G]riding high on [C]top of the [Am]world;
It [A#]happened,[D#] suddenly it just [G#]happened.[D7]
I saw my [G]dreams, fall [C]a-part,
When love [D7]walked away from my [G]heart.
'Cos when you [G]lose that precious [C]love you [Am]need, to [A#]guide you,[D#]
Something happens [G#]in-side you;[D7] The [G][F]Happen-ing.[G][F#]
Bridge 2
[G] Now [G/F#]I [G/E]see [D7]life, (now I see life),
For what it [G]is, (for what it is).
It's not all [B7]dreams, (it's not all dreams),
It's not all [Em]bliss, (it's not all bliss).
It happened [D]to me, and it can [D7]happen to [G]you.
Break:
[G] Once! Ooh, and then it [Gm]happened.[C/G]
[G] Ooh, and then it [G7]happened.
[G#m] [C#]Ooh... and then it [G#m]happened.[C#]
[G#m] [C#]Ooh... and then it [G#m]happened.[C#]
Verse 3
Is it [G#]real? Is it [C#]fake?
Is this [D#7]game of life a [G#]mis-take?
'Cos when I [G#]lost the love I [C#]thought was [A#m]mine, for [B]certain,[E]
Suddenly it [E7]starts [A]hurting.[D#7]
I saw the [G#]light, too [C#]late.
When that [D#7]fickle finger of [G#]fate;
Yeah, [G#]came and broke my [C#]pretty [A#m]balloon, I [B]woke up,[E]
[E7] Suddenly I just [A]woke up,[D#7] to The Happen-ing.
So [G#]sure, I felt [C#]se-cure, until [D#7]love took a [G#]de-tour.
'Cos when you [G#]got a tender [C#]love you [A#m]don't take [B]care of,[E]
Then you [E7]better [A]be-ware of;[D#7] The [G#]Happen-ing.
