Something Happens
John Hiatt / Riding with the King 1983

         |    /
I^Òve been jumpy
/        ^        | / / 
 I wanna step on the gas
         |
Gotta ride out of
          |E    /  /
This place fast
^     |         /  /
She said red lite,
     ^       |    /  /
I'll take those keys
        |
Out of my mind
     |E     / /
On my knees

           
/         |C        /  /
 Something Happens
               |   /  /
And I don't know why
            |    /  /             |
Can't seem to get my future outta her eyes
         |C      /  /
Something happens
        |    / /
Never for sure
             |    /     /            |  / /
And if I could name this sickness I'd be cured
     |   /  / ^ | () |
I^Òd be cured

Well she's long distance and it's alrite
Always this static on the line
Tear the phone out from the wall
        |              |     |
But in my head I get that call

               /
She don't wanna talk
         |/                 |
She don't wanna talk to me
             /
She just wanna look
        |/                  | | | |
She just wanna look thru me

It's a famine or it's a feast
Who's this beauty and who's that beast
Is it love or happiness
And if I do it will I confess
