Dawes - Things Happen
This is based on the tab by Dr. Leonard, with the chords written out over the lyrics and a bit of a change
on the [Break] section.
[CHORDS]
| 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
