Dar Williams - It Happens Every Day




CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: FF G+G C majorC (2x)

         FF   G+G      C majorC
The first part of every day for me is good
       FF    G+G       C majorC
I've got the bus stop in my neighbourhood
          E minorEm    FF        C majorC
And everything's on purpose, everywhere they go
       E minorEm   FF       G+G
Hiding in my car and running in the snow
     C majorC    E minorEm       A minorAm    G+G
Running with the friends they'll know for years
   FF    C majorC    Csus4/F   C majorC
I've seen it all from here, from here

       G+G   FF        C majorC
Happens every day, before they go to school
          G+G     FF      C majorC
They play until the bus drives up beside my lawn
             G+G     FF          C majorC
And there's always been a mother who waits 'til they are gone
        A minorAm
Then she turns away
      C majorC  E minorEm  FF G+G C majorC
Happens every day


        FF     G+G       C majorC
Noon comes and turns this campus upside down
      FF    G+G        C majorC
I watch the students in this college town
            E minorEm    FF         C majorC
You would think they're carefree, I have seen their trials
       E minorEm       FF        G+G
Frowning into Shakespeare and practicing their smiles
   C majorC  E minorEm   A minorAm G+G
Even underlining Nabokov
   FF  C majorC   Csus4/F  C majorC
When I am not in love, in love

         G+G        FF       C majorC
It happens every day, with their journals in cafes
           G+G    FF      C majorC
Looking up at their reflection on the other wall
        G+G       FF           C majorC
With every new idea wondering if they've changed at all
          A minorAm
And then they look away
      C majorC  E minorEm  FF G+G C majorC  FF G+G C majorC  FF G+G C majorC
Happens every day


         FF      G+G      C majorC
Well, life is as hard and as easy as they say
      FF      G+G       C majorC
Walking the steps we've chosen on this day
        E minorEm    FF        C majorC
Some will be outrageous, some have rarely shown
         E minorEm    FF        G+G
Some will walk in couples, some will walk alone
   C majorC   E minorEm    A minorAm   G+G
As I think about the world I see
   FF     C majorC    Csus4/F  C majorC
They stare and smile at me,  at me


         G+G     FF        C majorC
It happens every day at the crossing of the street
             G+G    FF        C majorC
Walking out to see what's new and what is just the same
           G+G    FF      C majorC
And the only word for love is everybody's name
           A minorAm
And that will always stay
      E minorEm
Happens every day
  FF       G+G       A minorAm   FF G+G C majorC  FF G+G C majorC C majorC
And every day will happen without you
