Things Happen

| G D C | C Em D |

[Verse]
G       D     C       C  Em      D
I could go on talking or I could stop
G     D        C             C    Em   D
Wring out each memory 'til I get every drop
G     D           C      C      Em       D
Sift through the details of the others involved
G              D        C                  C   Em       D
The true crime would be thinking it's just one person's fault

[Verse]
G        D     C         C    Em   D
Like an honest signature on a fake ID
G        D      C                   C   Em   D
Like the guilty conscience with the innocent plea
G        D     C        C      Em      D
You can just ignore it, put it out of mind
             G     D       C               C   Em        D
But ain't it funny how the past won't ever let something lie?

[Chorus]
             G       D       C                    C     Em D
Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through
              G        D       C                 C    Em  D
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
        G         D        C             C  Em  D
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
        G  D  C                      C  Em  D
Things happen, that's all they ever do

[Verse]
G     D        C     C    Em        D
In a different time, on a different floor
G       D          C              C   Em   D
I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore
G      D              C        C    Em        D
So I'm driving out to Oakland for a good look back
G       D     C             C    Em  D
  And a few revisions to my plan of attack

[Chorus]
             G       D       C                    C     Em D
Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through
              G        D       C                 C    Em  D
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
        G         D        C             C  Em  D
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
        G  D  C                      C  Em  D
Things happen, that's all they ever do

[Break]
G             C
I think I'll see Lily
C             D
See where she stands, I
G              C                     C     D
can't help how I feel, I don't think anyone can
G           C           C             D
Sometimes we're lovers, sometimes we're friends
   G            C                C     D
The hope of magnetism between two dead ends

[Chorus] (x2)
             G       D       C                    C     Em D
Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through
              G        D       C                 C     Em  D
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
        G         D        C             C  Em  D
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
        G  D  C                      C  Em  D
Things happen, that's all they ever do

              G       D       C                    C     Em D
Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through
(You can qualify the spirit guides you listen to)
              G        D       C                 C    Em  D
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
(Or why a mom's compelled to bronze its baby's shoes)

        G         D        C             C  Em  D
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
        G  D  C                      C  Em  D
Things happen, that's all they ever do

                     G  D  C
That's all they ever do
                     C  Em  D
That's all they ever do
                     G  D  C   C  Em  D
That's all they ever do
