These Things Happen

Intro: F 


 
   Am7             C 
My last time on an airplane 
  F 
I sat beside a famous woman 
Am7                   C            F 
You may have seen her doing a cold plunge 
Am7             C 
I know she once slept with 
  F                  C 
A friend of mine, he didn't like it 
Am7           C                F 
I went out to dinner with them once 
 

 
                    C      Am7            G 
And it gets cold in April, rent is always rising 
          F                C                  G 
There's a kid in Tulsa who needs something to say 
         F      C         Am7 
A bitter golden apple, it shouldn't be surprising 
       F            C               G 
It's a fact of life in this kind of place 
             F 
These things happen 
                     G 
These things happen 
 

 
        Am7                C 
And the friend of mine, no longer with us 
F                  C 
His whole life fit in one dumpster 
  Am7               C              F 
I saw them throwing all his stuff away 
        Am7          C 
And the famous woman intimated 
     F              C 
That he was kind of asking for it 
    Am7           C                 F 
But no one really wants to die that way 
 

 
                    C      Am7            G 
And it gets cold in April, but we'll just keep on singing 
          F              C              G 
There's a girl in Dallas dreaming about fame 
        F       C      Am7               G 
A bitter golden apple, what all were you thinking? 
       F            C               G 
It's a fact of life in this kind of place 
             Dm7 
These things happen 
             F 
These things happen 
 

 
        Dm                                                           F 
And sometimes they don't have your name on the guest list at the door 
        Dm                                                          F 
And sometimes you don't pick up a phone call and they don't call anymore
