Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 They broke off the locks and they opened the doors

 Pushed out the windows and painted the floors

 Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand

 Raised up the roof til it touched the sky

 Picked up the pieces that were left to die

 Brought this building back with healing hands

 When you see trouble

 You're bound to move in on the double

 Cause you leave your mark upon everything

 In your head those Liberty Bells still ring

 But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say

So you brought in the army to do your job

Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs

Back in the morning to watch themselves on the news

You're doing the bidding of the money men

If it turns out right, they'll call you friend

One little favour, how could you really refuse

Oh my heart is sinking

Same old useless worn out thinking

You live your life in te court of kings

Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring

But we don't even understand a thing you say

Chorus

 It could happen to you, It could happen to you

 It could happen to you sometime when you least expect it

 Done by the ones that you never suspected

 All your bills come due

 It could happen to you.

You really gotta wonder what you did it for

Cause you don't need an army to move out the poor

You brought it out once I know you could bring it again

Oh my heart is sinking

Same old useless worn out thinking

You live your life in the court of kings

Count your money as the raven sings

Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings

But all your riches won't mean a thing someday

 Oh it could happen to you
