When It Happens chords by Reese Lansangan

• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



Verse 1:
       G
Oh, when it happens
        Em
There will be mourning
          Am
A tweet storm in my name
           D
My best picture in a frame
       C    G
That's how it usually goes

Verse 2:
      G
Oh, it's a contest
        Em
Of who really knew me best
           Am
Old photos would be found
               D
Captioned with something profound
     C   G
A memory nobody knows

Chorus:
  Em   D    C    G
So weep for me, my darling dear
 Em   D     C  G
Tomorrow you'll move on
Em   D    C  G
I will leave my body here
  Em     D    C
But you've got miles to go
   Am    Em   C
In a life I'll never know
      G
So move on

Verse 3:
       G
Oh, when it happens
        Em
There'll be unmooring
       Am
Visitors in black
               D
Wish for time they can't get back

Verse 4:
      G
Oh, it's a conquest
       Em
For who is grieving best
        Am
The tragedy is fresh
              D
But when bones are laid to rest
         C   G
You go on as you were before

Chorus:
Em    D    C    G
Weep for me, my darling dear
 Em   D     C  G
Tomorrow you'll move on
Em   D    C  G
I will leave my body here
  Em     D    C
But you've got miles to go
   Am    Em   C
In a life I'll never know
      G
So move on

Bridge:
   C           G        D
The Wikipedia articles will be so quick to change
 C                 G         D
Present tense to past, how someone does this is still strange
   Em     D   C       Am
The world will talk about it for a week
            Em      D        G
But I have found that everything is just fine without me

Finale:
Em    D    C    G
Weep for me, my darling dear
 Em   D     C  G
Tomorrow you'll move on
Em   D    C  G
I will leave my body here
   Em    D    C
While you soar on your own
   Am    Em   C
To a life I'll never know
       G
So move on along
