It Could Happen To You

Transcribed by: Drake Hirasawa (drake@genesis-microchip.on.ca) Key: A Capo on 2nd fret (Chords shapes shown for key of G) G They broke off the locks and they opened the doors C Pushed out the windows and painted the floors D G Gsus4 G Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand G Raised up the roof til it touched the sky C Picked up the pieces that were left to die D G Brought this building back with healing hands Bm C When you see trouble Bm C You're bound to move in on the double Am G/B Cause you leave your mark upon everything C G/B In your head those Liberty Bells still ring Am G/B D But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say So you brought in the army to do your job Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs Back in the morning to watch themselves on the news You're doing the bidding of the money men If it turns out right, they'll call you friend One little favour, how could you really refuse Oh my heart is sinking Same old useless worn out thinking You live your life in te court of kings Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring But we don't even understand a thing you say Chorus: G C G C It could happen to you, It could happen to you G D It could happen to you sometime when you least expect it Em A Done by the ones that you never suspected C D All your bills come due G It could happen to you. You really gotta wonder what you did it for Cause you don't need an army to move out the poor You brought it out once I know you could bring it again Oh my heart is sinking Same old useless worn out thinking You live your life in the court of kings Count your money as the raven sings Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings But all your riches won't mean a thing someday G C Oh it could happen to you G C Oh it could happen to you Oh it could happen to you (it could happen to you) Oh it could happen to you
