Looking for a Place to Happen- The Tragically Hip
[Verse]
E MajorE
I've got a job, I explore, I follow every little whiff
G+G
And I want my life to smell like this
E MajorE D MajorD
To find a place, ancient race, the kind you'd like to gamble with
G+G E MajorE
Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit
[Chorus]
C majorC E MajorE
Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way
[Verse 2]
E MajorE
Wayward, away we go, it's a shame to leave this masterpiece
G+G
With it's gallery gods and it's garbage-bag trees
E MajorE D MajorD
So I'll paint a scene from memory, so I'd know who murdered me
G+G E MajorE
It's a vain pursuit but it helps me sleep
[Chorus]
C majorC E MajorE
Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way
Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way

E MajorE D MajorD
Jacques Cartier, right this way, I'll put your coat up on the bed
G+G E MajorE
Hey man, you've got a real bum's eye for clothes
E MajorE D MajorD
And come on in, sit right down, no you're not the first to show
G+G E MajorE
We've all been here since, God, who knows
[Chorus]
C majorC E MajorE
Lookin' for a place to happen, makin' stops along the way
