     Gmaj7                     E
its too close to home and its too near the bone
Gmaj7         A            D        E
too close to home and too near the bone
Gmaj7
more than you'll
ever know

It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seats
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile
on my face after all

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine, happening in mine
Happening in mine, happening in mine

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now, now, now it's
happening in mine, happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine, happening in mine
Happening in mine, happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now, now, now it's happening in mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine
