Something Happens

Biography:

John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

Something Happens
John Hiatt / Riding with the King 1983

|E /
I^Òve been jumpy
/ G^ A |E / /
I wanna step on the gas
G |D
Gotta ride out of
|E / /
This place fast
G^ A |E / /
She said red lite,
G^ A |E / /
I'll take those keys
G |D
Out of my mind
|E / /
On my knees

B A G C
/ |C / /
Something Happens
G |C / /
And I don't know why
G |C / / D |G
Can't seem to get my future outta her eyes
|C / /
Something happens
G |C / /
Never for sure
G |C / / D |G / /
And if I could name this sickness I'd be cured
D |E / / G^A |E (D) |
I^Òd be cured

Well she's long distance and it's alrite
Always this static on the line
Tear the phone out from the wall
G |D |E |
But in my head I get that call

G /
She don't wanna talk
|/ D |
She don't wanna talk to me
G /
She just wanna look
|/ D |Bb |F |D |
She just wanna look thru me

It's a famine or it's a feast
Who's this beauty and who's that beast
Is it love or happiness
And if I do it will I confess
