It Could Happen to You Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
They [G]broke off the locks and
they opened the doors
[C]Fixed up the windows and
painted the floors
[D]Grew a little garden outside
in the rust and [G]sand
Raised up the roof till it touched the sky
[C]Picked up the pieces that
were left to die
[D]Brought this building back
with a healing hand
[G]

[Verse 2]
When [Bm]you see t[C]rouble
[Bm]You're bound to move in [C]on the double
You [Am]leave your mark upon [G]everything
In your [C]head those Liberty [G]Bells still ring
But [Am]we know that you don't even me[G]an
A thing you say
[D]

[Verse 3]
So you [G]brought in the army
to do your job
[C]Kicking in doors and swinging their clubs
[D]Back in the morning to watch
Themselves on [G]the news[C]
[G]You're doing the bidding
of the money man
If it [C]turns out right they'll call you friend
[D]One little favour how could
you really refuse
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Oh my he[C]art is sinking
[Bm]Same old useless [C]worn out thinking
You [Am]live your life in [G]the court of kings
[C]Bow to the ruler and [G]kiss the ring
But [Am]we don't even under
[Bm]stand a [G]thing you say
[D]

[Verse 5]
It could happen to [G]you[C]
It could happen to [G]you[C]
It could happen to [G]you sometime
When you [D]least expect it
[Em]Done by the ones that
you [A]never suspected
[Am]All [C]your bills come due[D]

[Interlude 1]
It could happen to you

[G][C]
[G][C][D][G][Bm]
[G][C][Am]

[Verse 6]
You [G]really got to wonder
why you did it for
Cause you [C]don't need an army
To move out the poor
You [D]brought it out once I know
You could bring it again
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]Oh m[C]y heart is sinking
[Bm]Same old use[G]less [C]worn out thinking
[Am]Live your life in [G]the court of kings
[C]Count your money as the [Bm]Raven [G]sings
[Am]Safe and sound when the
[G]wrecking ball swings
But [C]all your riches won't
[G]mean a thing [D]someday[G]
It could happen [C]to [G]you[C][G]
It could happen [C]to [G]you

[Outro 1]
It could happen to you
