Verse 1:

    G             C         D             G
Hey life, look at me; I can see the reali-ty.
              G                 C
'Cos when you shook me, took me out of my world;
  Bb      Eb               Ab      D7            ( G )
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, to The Happen-ing.

G         C              D                  G
 When you find, that you left the future be-hind.
              G            C                   Bb      Eb
'Cos when you got a tender love you don't take care of,
                   Ab      D7          G   G7
Then you better be-ware of; The Happen-ing.

Bridge 1:

               D                   G
One day you-re up, then you turn a-round.
              B7                 Em
You find your world, is tumbling down.
            D                 D7        G   G7
It happened to me, and it can happen to you.

Verse 2:

      G               C           D              G
I was sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.
      G              C
Yeah, riding high on top of the world;
   Bb       Eb                Ab       D7
It happened, suddenly it just happened.

         G              C
I saw my dreams, fall a-part,
          D                   G
When love walked away from my heart.
             G                  C                 Bb        Eb
And when you lose that precious love you need, to guide you,
                     Ab       D7          G   G7
Something happens in-side you; The Happen-ing.

Bridge 2:

          D                 G
Now I see life, for what it is.
             B7                   Em
It's not all dreams, it's not all bliss.
            D                 D7        G
It happened to me, and it can happen to you.

Break:

G                       G7
 Once! Ooh, and then it happened.
G                 G7
 Ooh, and then it happened.

Verse 3:

      Ab          C#
Is it real? Is it fake?
        Eb                 Ab
Is this game of life a mis-take?
            Ab              C#                    B       E
'Cos when I lost the love I thought was mine, for certain,
                   A        Eb
Suddenly I started hurting.

          Ab         C#
I saw the light, too late.
          Eb               Ab
When that fickle finger of fate;
      Ab                C#                B       E
Yeah, came and broke my pretty balloon, I woke up,
                A         Eb            ( Ab )
Suddenly I just walked up, to The Happen-ing.

   Ab              C#          Eb             Ab
So sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.
              Ab           C#                  B       E
'Cos when you got a tender love you don't take care of,
                   A       Eb          Ab
Then you better be-ware of; The Happen-ing.
