Lyrics

I don’t e ven know my self at all, I thought I would be (F)hap py

(Fsus)by now.

The more I try to push it, I re a lize, got to (C)let go of con trol.

Got to let it (Bb)hap pen.

Got to let it hap pen.

Got to let it (Bbmaj7)hap pen.

So let it hap pen.

It’s just a (Bb)spark,

but it’s e (Dm)nough to keep me go ing.

And when it’s (Bb)dark out, no one’s a (F)round, it keeps glow ing.

Ev ’ry night I try my best to dream, to mor row makes it (F)bet ter.

And I wake up to the cold re a li ty and not a thing has changed.

But it will (Bb)hap pen.

Got to let it (F)hap pen.

Got to let it (Bb)hap pen.

Got to let it hap pen.

It’s just a (Bb)spark,

but it’s e (Dm)nough to keep me go ing.

And when it’s dark out, no one’s a (F)round, it keeps glow ing.

It’s just a (Bb)spark,

but it’s e (Dm)nough to keep me go ing.

And when it’s dark out, no one’s a (F)round, it keeps glow ing.

The salt in my wounds is n’t burn ing an y more than it used (Bb)to.

It’s not that I don’t feel the pain, it’s just I’m (C)not a fraid of hurt ing an y more.

And the blood of these veins is n’t pump ing an y less than it ev er has.

And that’s the hope I have, the on ly thing I know is keep ing me a live.

A (F)live!

Got to make it (Bb)hap pen.

Got to make it hap pen.

Got to make it (Bbmaj7)hap pen.

Got to make it hap pen.

Got to make it (Bb)hap pen.

Got to make it hap pen.

Got to make it (Bbmaj7)hap pen.

Got to make it hap pen.

Got to make it

It’s just a
