Watch What Happens Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]"Wr[G]ite what you know"
So they say,
all I know is I don't know what to write
Or the right way to write it
This is big, lady, don't screw it up
This is not some little vaudeville
[C]I'm reviewing[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Poor little [G]kids versus rich
greedy sourpusses
Ha, it's a cinch
It could practically write itself
And let's pray it [C]does,
'cause as I may have [G]mentioned
I have no [C]clue what I'm [G]doing

[Verse 3]
[F#]Am I insane? This is what
I've been waiting for
Well, that,
plus the screaming of [B]ten angry editors
A [F#]girl? It's a [F#m]girl,
how the hell? Is that even [B]legal?
Look, [E]just go [Ebm]and ge[Abm]t her

[Verse 4]
[F#]Not only that, there's a s[F#m]tory
be[F#]hind the story
[B]Thousands of children,
exploited, invisible
Speak [A]up, take a stand,
and there's someone to [C]write about it
[D]That's [Dsus4]how thing[D]s get better

[Verse 5]
[G]Give life's little guys some [D]ink,
and when it dries just [C]watch what happens
Those kids will [D]live and
[G]breathe right on the page
And [D]once they're center stage,
you [C]watch what happens
And who's there [D]with her
[Em]camera and her pen?
As [F]boys turn into men
[D]They'll storm the [Dsus4]gates and then just wat[D]ch
what happens when they [G]do[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Picture a handsome,
hero[G]ically [D]cha[G]rismatic
Plain-spoken, know-nothing, skirt-chasing,
cocky cocky cocky little [D]son-of-a-
Lie Lie Lie down with dogs and you wake
up with a [G]raise [C]and a promo[G]tion

[Verse 7]
[D]So, he's a flirt
A com[G]plete egomaniac
The fact is he's also the
face of the strike
What a [D]face
Face the facts, that's a face that could
save us all from [G]sink[C]ing [G]in the [Em]ocean

[Verse 8]
[F#]Like someone said,
"Power tends to corrupt"
And abso[B]lute power, wait,
wait, corrupts?
Absolutely, [F#]that is genius
[F#m]But give me some [F#]time,
I'll be twice as good as [B]that [E]six months [D#m]from n[G#m]ever

[Verse 9]
[F#]Just look around at the
world we're inheriting
And [B]think of the one
we'll create
Their mistake is they got [A]old,
that is not a mistake we'll be making
No sir, [D]we'll [Dsus4]stay young fore[D]ver

[Verse 10]
[G]Give those kids and me the [D]brand-new century
century and [C]watch what happens
It's David [D]and Go[G]liath, do or die
The [D]fight is on and I can't
[C]watch what happens
But all I [D]know is

[Verse 11]
[Em]nothing
happens [C]if you [F]just give in
It [Em]can't be any [C]worse
than [F]how it's been
And it [G]just so happens that
we [F]just might [C]win
[Cm]So w[Dsus4]hatever ha[D]ppens, let's b[G]e gi[D]n[G]
