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
