G5 , G5

Verse 1:

    G5             C5         D5             G5
Hey life, look at me; I can see the reali-ty.
              G5                 C5
'Cos when you shook me, took me out of my world;
  Bb5      Eb5               Ab5      D5            ( G5 )
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, to The Happen-ing.

G5         C5              D5                  G5
 When you find, that you left the future be-hind.
              G5            C5                   Bb5      Eb5
'Cos when you got a tender love you don't take care of,
                   Ab5      D5          G5   G5
Then you better be-ware of; The Happen-ing.

Bridge 1:

               D5                   G5
One day you-re up, then you turn a-round.
              B5                 E5
You find your world, is tumbling down.
            D5                 D5        G5   G5
It happened to me, and it can happen to you.

Verse 2:

      G5               C5           D5              G5
I was sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.
      G5              C5
Yeah, riding high on top of the world;
   Bb5       Eb5                Ab5       D5
It happened, suddenly it just happened.

         G5              C5
I saw my dreams, fall a-part,
          D5                   G5
When love walked away from my heart.
             G5                  C5                 Bb5        Eb5
And when you lose that precious love you need, to guide you,
                     Ab5       D5          G5   G5
Something happens in-side you; The Happen-ing.

Bridge 2:

          D5                 G5
Now I see life, for what it is.
             B5                   E5
It's not all dreams, it's not all bliss.
            D5                 D5        G5
It happened to me, and it can happen to you.

Break:

G5                       G5
 Once! Ooh, and then it happened.
G5                 G5
 Ooh, and then it happened.

Ab5   C#5            Ab5      C#5
 Ooh... and then it happened.
Ab5   C#5            Ab5      C#5
 Ooh... and then it happened.

Verse 3:

      Ab5          C#5
Is it real? Is it fake?
        Eb5                 Ab5
Is this game of life a mis-take?
            Ab5              C#5                    B5       E5
'Cos when I lost the love I thought was mine, for certain,
                   A5        Eb5
Suddenly I started hurting.

          Ab5         C#5
I saw the light, too late.
          Eb5               Ab5
When that fickle finger of fate;
      Ab5                C#5                B5       E5
Yeah, came and broke my pretty balloon, I woke up,
                A5         Eb5            ( Ab5 )
Suddenly I just walked up, to The Happen-ing.

   Ab5              C#5          Eb5             Ab5
So sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.
              Ab5           C#5                  B5       E5
'Cos when you got a tender love you don't take care of,
                   A5       Eb5          Ab5
Then you better be-ware of; The Happen-ing.
