           G       Gsus4  G
the rust and sand

G
Raised up the roof til it touched

D                             
Brought this building back with 
          G
healing hands

Bm           C
When you see trouble
       Bm               C
You're bound to move in on the 
double
Continues after the ad
          Am                  
Cause you leave your mark upon 
 G/B
everything
        C                  G/B
In your head those Liberty Bells 
still ring
    Am                          
But we know that you don't even 
G/B              D
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        
It could happen to you, It could 
            G   C
happen to you
                   G               
It could happen to you sometime 
      D
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
