Sometimes It Happens

[Andrew McKean]

Here is my first attempted at doing this. Correct anything and (if necessary) everything.

 

 

G

Sometimes it happens

Am

That you are friends

G

Then you are not friends

Am

And friendship has past

Bm

Whole days are lost

Am D G

And among them a fountain empties itself

 

G

Sometimes it happens

Am

That you are in love

G

And then you are not loved

Am

And love has passed

Bm

Whole days are lost

Am D Em

And among them a fountain empties itself

D

Into the grass

 

F#m G

Sometimes you want to speak to him and then

A# Am

You do not want to speak

D Em

And then the opportunity has passed

Am B

Your dreams flare up

F#m D# D

They suddenly vanish

 

G Am

And also it happens that there is no where to go

G

And then there is somewhere to go

Am

And you have bypassed

 

Bm

The years flare up

Am D G

And are gone quicker than a minute so you have nothing

 

G Am

You wonder if these things matter and then

G

They cease to matter

Am

And caring is passed

Bm D G

And a fountain empties itself into the grass

 

G

Sometimes it happens

Am

That you are friends

G

Then you are not friends

Am

And friendship has past

Bm

Whole days are lost

Am D G

And among them a fountain empties itself

 

G

Sometimes it happens

Am

That you are in love

G

And then you are not loved
