How Could This Happen To Me (with lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
I [E] open my eyes, I try to see but I'm blinded by [G] the white light
I can't [E] remember [Em] how, I can't remember why
[G] I'm lying here [D] tonight
And [C] I can't stand the [D]
pain
And [Em] I can't make it [G] go away
[C] No, I can't stand [D] the pain
How could this happen [G] to me?
I made my [E] mistakes, got nowhere [C] to run
The night goes [D] on as I'm fading [G] away
I'm sick of this [E] life, I just wanna [C] scream
[D] How could this happen [G] to me?
[E]
Everybody's screaming, I try to make a sound but no [G] one hears me
[E] I'm slipping off the [Em] edge, I'm hanging by a thread
[G] I wanna start this over [D] again
[C] So I try [D] to hold onto [Em] a time when
[G] Nothing mattered [C] and I can't [D] explain what happened
[Em] And I can't erase the things that [C] I've done
No, [D] I can't
How could this happen [G] to me?
I made my [E] mistakes, got nowhere [C] to run
The night [D] goes on as I'm fading [G] away
I'm sick of [E] this life, I just wanna [C] scream
[D] How could this happen to [G] me?
[D] [Em]
[G] [C]
[D]
[E]
[G] I've made my [E] mistakes, got nowhere [C] to run
The night goes [D] on as I'm fading [G] away
I'm sick of this [E] life, I just wanna [C] scream
[D] How could this [G] happen to me?
[C]
