G    
They broke off the locks and they opened the doors
C
Pushed out the windows and painted the floors
D                                            G       Gsus4  G 
Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand

G
Raised up the roof til it touched the sky 
C
Picked up the pieces that were left to die 
D                                       G
Brought this building back with healing hands

Bm           C
When you see trouble
       Bm               C   
You're bound to move in on the double 
          Am                   G/B
Cause you leave your mark upon everything 
        C                  G/B
In your head those Liberty Bells still ring
    Am                          G/B              D
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:
                   G  C                    G   C
It could happen to you, It could happen to you   
                   G                     D
It could happen to you sometime when you least expect it 
Em                        A
Done by the ones that you never suspected 
C                   D
All your bills come due
G
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

G                     C
Oh it could happen to you
G                     C
Oh it could happen to you 
Oh it could happen to you (it could happen to you) Oh it could happen to you
