Watch What Happens

Intro: G7
 
Verse 1:
G7
"Write what you know", So they say, all I know is
      C        
I don't know what to write or the right way to write it.
        G7
This is big, lady, don't screw it up,
                          C   Am   F Em Am7 D7
This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing.
 

 G7
Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
C  
Ha! It's a cinch! It could practically write itself-
     G7
And let's pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned,
        C Am   F   Em Am Gbm   
I have no clue what I'm doing.
 

B7
Cm I insane? This is what I've been waiting for.
     E   
Well that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors.
    B7
"A girl?" "It's a girl!" "How the hell?" "Is that even legal?"
 E   Dbm  A Abm  Dbm7
"Look, just go and get her!"
 

B7
Not only that, there's a story behind the story:
E   
Thousands of children, exploited, invisible.
      D7
Speak up, take a stand, and there's someone to write G#out it.
G7                     G7
That's how things get better.
 
Chorus:
 C                           G7   
Give life's little guys some ink,
                         F
And when it dries just watch what happens.
      Fsus2      G         C
Those kids will live and breathe right on the page
    G7                               F
And once they're center stage, you watch what happens.
    Fsus2        G       Am
And who's there with her camera and her pen
    Bb
As boys turn into men?
         Gm7
They'll storm the gates and then
       G        F        G        C5        Fsus2
Just watch what happens when they do.
 
Verse 2:
G7
Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic-
C                                                       G7
Plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, cocky little son of a-
                                            C   Am F Em Am7 D7
Lie down with dogs and you wake up with a raise and a promotion.
G7
So, he's a flirt, a complete ego maniac.
    C  
The fact is he's also the face of the strike-
        G7
What a face- face the fact,
                                           C Am  F Em Am Gbm   
That's a face that could save us all from sinking in the ocean.
 

B7
Like someone said, "Power tends to corrupt"
        E   
And G#solute power, wait! Wait, corrupts!?
                     B7
G#solutely, that is genius!
                                                 E  Dbm  A     Abm  Dbm7
But give me some time, I'll be twice as good as that six months from never.
 

B7
Just look around at the world we're inheriting
    E   
And think of the one we'll create.
                          D7
Their mistake is they got old, that is not a mistake we'll be making.
        G7                  G7
No sir, we'll stay young forever!
 
Chorus:
 C                         G7                     F
Give those kids and me the brand new century and watch what happens.
    Fsus2   G    C                     G7   
It's David and Goliath, do or die! The fight is on,
              F
And I can't watch what happens.
   Fsus2   G      Am                     Bb
But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in.
   Am                      Bb
It can't be any worse than how it's been.
 
Outro:
        C5      C5             C5          F   
And it just so happens that we just might win,
Fm    G7   
So whatever happens!
        C5        Dm7 G7     C
Let's begin!
