Sometimes I sit in the smoking section
Eb
Hopin' one rogue spark will land in my direction
Db
And when you stomp me out, I scream and I'll shout
C
"Let it happen, let it happen, let it happen."

Fm
And sometimes I feel like an inland ocean
Eb
Too big to be a lake, too small to be an attraction

And when you wander in and start to flail a bit

I let it happen, let it happen, let it happen
