It  happened to me and it can 
F#        B
happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure, until 
love took a detour
Yeah, riding high on top of the 
world
It happened, suddenly it just 
happened.

I saw my dreams fall apart, when 
love walked away from my heart
And when you lose that precious love
 you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the 
happening.

Now I see life for what it is
It's not all dreams, it's not all 
bliss
It happened to me and it can happen 
to you
Once!

Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened.

Is it real, is it fake, is this game
 of life a mistake
Cause when I lost the love I thought
 was mine
For certain, suddenly I started 
hurting.

I saw the light too late, when that 
fickle finger of fate
Yeah came and broke my pretty 
balloon
I woke up, suddenly I just walked up
 to the happening.

So sure, I felt secure, until love 
took a detour
Cause when you got a tender love you
 don-t
Take care of, then you better beware
 of the happening.
