It Happens Every Day

INTRO: F  G  C  (2x)

                  F      G        
The first part of every day for me
    C
 is good
             F        G   
I've got the bus stop in my 
           C
neighbourhood
                    Em      
And everything's on purpose, 
 F               C
everywhere they go
             Em      F            
Hiding in my car and running in 
  G
the snow
         C       Em              
Running with the friends they'll 
Am       G
know for years
     F       C        Csus4/F     
I've seen it all from here,  from 
C
here


              G      F            
Happens every day, before they go 
   C
to school
                    G          F  
They play until the bus drives up 
          C
beside my lawn
                          G        
And there's always been a mother 
  F                   C
who waits 'til they are gone
                Am
Then she turns away
            C    Em   F  G  C
Happens every day


Continues after the ad
               F          G    
Noon comes and turns this campus 
         C
upside down
            F        G            
I watch the students in this 
   C
college town
                        Em        
You would think they're carefree, 
F                 C
I have seen their trials
              Em             
Frowning into Shakespeare and 
 F                G
practicing their smiles
     C    Em     Am  G
Even underlining Nabokov
     F    C      Csus4/F   C
When I am not in love,  in love


                 G              
It happens every day, with their 
 F             C
journals in cafes
                      G        F  
Looking up at their reflection on 
          C
the other wall
               G              F
With every new idea wondering if 
                     C
they've changed at all
                    Am
And then they look away
            C    Em    F  G  C  
Happens every day
  F  G  C    F  G  C



                 F           G    
Well, life is as hard and as easy 
        C
as they say
            F           G         
Walking the steps we've chosen on 
     C
this day
                Em       F        
Some will be outrageous, some have
        C
 rarely shown
                  Em       F      
Some will walk in couples, some 
         G
will walk alone
     C      Em       Am      G
As I think about the world I see
     F         C        Csus4/F   C
They stare and smile at me,    at me


                 G          F     
It happens every day at the 
          C
crossing of the street
                          G       
Walking out to see what's new and 
F                C
what is just the same
                      G      
And the only word for love is 
 F           C
everybody's name
                     Am
And that will always stay
            Em
Happens every day
    F              G             
And every day will happen without
Am     F  G  C    F  G  C  C
 you
