It Hasnt Happened Yet

Am9
   I was crossing the snow fields in
 front of the Capitol Building
                    D7sus4
It was Christmas and I was alone
D7sus4
Strange city, strangers for friends,
 and I was broke
Am9
  As the carillon sang its song, I 
dreamt of success
                    D7sus4
I would be the best, I would make my
 folks proud
D7sus4
I would be happy... It hasn't 
happened yet
Fmaj7 Em7                      
   ... It hasn't happened yet... It 
Am9
hasn't happened
Fmaj7 Em7 Am9

[Verse 2]
Dm7
Yes, there are nods in my direction
            Am9
Clap of hands, a knowing smile
         Dm7     Em7
But still... I'm scared again (I'm 
scared again, I'm scared again)
Am9
  Foot slipped, pebbles fall and so 
did I, almost, I'm high
        D7sus4
On Yosemite, the big grey wall (Fear
 of falling)

D7sus4
Where to put my foot next (Fear of 
failure)
D7sus4
I'm afraid I'm gonna fall
D7sus4                        
(Be at one with the mountain) I 
                    Am9
whisper to the air
Am9
(Fear of falling... Fear of failure,
 failure)
Am9
Fear of losing my hair (Falling, 
falling, falling...)
D7sus4
When is the mountain scaled?
D7sus4
When do I feel I haven't failed?
D7sus4
I've got to get it together, man
D7sus4
(It hasn't happened, it hasn't 
happened) It hasn't happened yet
Fmaj7 Em7                      
   ... It hasn't happened yet... It 
Am9
hasn't happened

[Verse 3]
D(bass note)
  People come up and say hello - 
okay
      A(bass note)
I can get to the front of the line 
but you have to ignore the looks 
and...
D(bass note)
Yet, I'm waiting for that feeling of
 contentment
     A(bass notes)
That ease at night, when you put 
your head down and the rhythms slow 
to sleep
Am9
My head sways and eyes start awake
Am9
I'm there not halfway between sleep 
and death
          Fmaj7      Em7       
But looking into eyes wide open, 
              Am9
trying to remember
                      Fmaj7        
What I might have done, should have
      Em7  Am9
 done
At my age I need serenity, I need 
Fmaj7
peace
Em7                     Am9
It hasn't happened yet... It hasn't 
happened yet
   Fmaj7              Em7 Am9
It hasn't happened yet.....  It 
hasn't happened
           Fmaj7     Em7  Am9
(It hasn't happened)
