verse 1
Fm
Sometimes I sit in the smoking section
Eb
Hopin' one rogue spark will land in my direction
Db
And when you stomp me out, I scream and I'll shout
C
"Let it happen, let it happen, let it happen."
 
verse 2
Fm
And sometimes I feel like an inland ocean
Eb
Too big to be a lake, too small to be an attraction
Db
And when you wander in and start to flail a bit
C
I let it happen, let it happen, let it happen

Sometimes I stand with a pistol in hand
Eb
I fire at the grass just to scare you right back
Db
And when you won't run, I'm mad but I succumb
C
Let it happen, let it happen, let it happen
 
verse 4
Fm
And sometimes I go to the edge of my roof
Eb
And I think I'll jump just to punish you

And if I should float on the taxis below
C
No one would notice, no one will know
