D           E           A                  D
When I was 16 I had a dream my eyes were green
D              E          A              D
Just made my first CD, I longed to be on MTV
D          E               A                    D
I wore my heart out on my sleeve and girls were mean
D             E   A   D
It happened
D               E                  A                  D
Those college days just passed me by, I watched my friends get high
D             E               A                   D
Cannot peace out and say goodbye, I asked my mother why
D           E            A              D
Can I stay home all day alone and play piano?
D             E   A   D
It happens

[Chorus]
D                     E       A   D
'Cause today is gonna be your day
D                    E       A   D
No matter what gets in your way
D        E          A           D
So open up your mind and maybe you will find
D              E       A   D
Today is gonna be the day
D            E   A   D
It happens

[Verse 2]
D             E                A             D
Went with the boys to start a band without a plan
D         E                A            D
We even made some waves in Germany and in Japan
D           E            A            D
But it was over just as fast as it began
D             E   A   D
It happens
D         E                 A               D
Got on a train to Leigh-on-Sea when it was history
D            E                   A             D
No time for misery, a glass half full is not empty
D            E                  A         D     E      D
But still occasionally I would think of how it used to be
D            E               A             D
How everything was working out so well for me
D                 E   A   D
When it happened
D             E   A   D
It happened

[Chorus]
D                     E       A   D
'Cause today is gonna be your day
D                    E       A   D
No matter what gets in your way
D                   E          A          D
'Cause things turn out alright if you believe they might
D              E       A   D
Today is gonna be the day
D             E   A   D
It happens

[Verse 3]
D      E             A                D
After 11 years of space we start to gravitate
D             E              A             D
Back to each other, you can call it karma, call it fate
D            E             A                    D   E      D
Rocked up to Glastonbury, there were just so many people there
D                      E         A         D     E      D
Flashback to when the guy from NME said nobody would care
D                             E                   A             D
And now we're back out on the road, the album's almost good to go
D              E            A                  D
And if you're ever feeling low, you know, you know that

[Chorus]
D             E   A   D
It happens
D             E   A   D
It happens, oh
D                  E       A   D
So today is gonna be your day
D                   E       A   D
No matter what gets in your way
D                   E          A         D
'Cause things turn out alright if you believe they might
D              E       A   D
Today is gonna be the day
D             E   A   D
It happens
D             E   A   D
It happens
D             E   A   D
It happens
D             E   A   D
It happens
