Then It Really Happens

Tuning – Standard

Intro Dm C

Dm               C

You can write about it

Dm               C

You can feel it flow through your heart

Dm               C

You can wish for it with all your might,

Dm               C

but then it really happens.

F                  Dm

All I know is I can't stay at home

F                           G

I stay out all night - at least `til closing time

F          

He stares at my window,

Dm

stares all night long,

C                                        G

like he would drink the last drop

                         Am

from my reflection.

Dm                   C

I only trust their indifference

Dm                             C

I only trust a touch that slides off of me

Dm                              C

I only trust a short-term rental and I walk home,

Dm                            C

another drip lost in the Milky Way...

Bb

You butcher, you tailor,

Am

did your sad mothers name you?

Bb

You came out of nowhere,

Am         C

and that's what defines you

Bb

Your entertainment value

Am            

like a plastic dinosaur

C

The truth matters more

                     G                    Am

than what you did or who you are

Dm                        C

You can dream about it

Dm                         C

You can wish for it with all your might,

Dm                          C

but then you hear its song beat against your window,

Dm                          C

and then it really happens

F                  Dm

All I know is I can't stay at home

F                           G

I stay out all night - at least `til closing time

F          

He stares at my window,

Dm

stares all night long,

C                                        G           Am

like he would answer all of my questions
