A           E              C#m             B
 Time don't wait, like the changing of the season.
A             E                     C#m           B
 Sometimes it makes no sense but it happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.


[Verse 1]
E
I was DJing in a club up in Liverpool
B
Busting x-ray specs for the kids at a grammar school
A
 She was working there as a dancer
  B
I thought that perhaps there's a chance I'd romance her
E
We arranged to meet in different spots of the country
B
Had a good time though we never had no money
A
After a couple o' week with my wide-eyed
   B
We moved to a one bedroom flat by the seaside


[Chorus]
A           E              C#m             B
 Time don't wait, like the changing of the season.
A             E                     C#m           B
 Sometimes it makes no sense but it happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.


[Verse 2]
E
 We spent every minute that we had together,
B
 I thought that maybe this could be forever.
     A
Then 5 weeks later she's always complaining,
B
 About how she feels like she's fainting.
  E
So she took herself up to see the doctor,
 B
About 10 minutes before I had to go on tour.
      A
I was stuffing my suitcase with clothes and vaccinations,
       B
When I got a text message, congratulations.


[Chorus]
A           E              C#m             B
 Time don't wait, like the changing of the season.
A             E                     C#m           B
 Sometimes it makes no sense but it happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.


[Verse 3]
   E
My mom gave me the best advice I've ever had,
            B
She said if you're gonna be a dad, just don't be like your dad.
        A
I had a textbook template o' how not to be,
        B
I never thought out the whole crew, the first one'd be me.
       E
When I got back home we went to the hospital,
B
She was scared and worried we might o' lost it all.
    A
The quack called us into his room where we had a scan,
      B  N.C.
And I realised for the first time, I'd become a man.


[Chorus] (x3)

A           E              C#m             B
 Time don't wait, like the changing of the season.
A             E                     C#m           B
 Sometimes it makes no sense but it happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.


[Outro]
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.
A          E             B
Everything happens for a reason.
