EOne (022100@1)day you blew across the water after racing through the countdown,

                          BAnd (x2444x@1)they were looking for me. 
EI (022100@1)took the red-eye back to glory but the more I got the facts straight, 
      
It turns out that the story's getting shorter, 
                   G (320003@1)                        BAnd (x2444x@1)what I want to know is: will it happen to me?

Verse:
We've been divided, we've decided it's a problem we can live with, 
The motion to defeat it is repeated, 
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me? 
So come on, let the son in, we've been gunning for promotion, 
Postering the slogans on the roadsigns, 
But I want to know when it happens to me.
