[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Am7 CMy last time on an airplane
FI sat beside a famous woman
Am7 C FYou may have seen her doing a cold plunge
Am7 CI know she once slept with
F CA friend of mine, he didn't like it
Am7 C FI went out to dinner with them once
[Chorus]
C Am7 GAnd it gets cold in April, rent is always rising
F C GThere's a kid in Tulsa who needs something to say
F C Am7A bitter golden apple, it shouldn't be surprising
F C GIt's a fact of life in this kind of place
FThese things happen
GThese things happen
[Verse 2]
Am7 CAnd the friend of mine, no longer with us
F CHis whole life fit in one dumpster
Am7 C FI saw them throwing all his stuff away
Am7 CAnd the famous woman intimated
F CThat he was kind of asking for it
Am7 C FBut no one really wants to die that way
[Chorus]
C Am7 GAnd it gets cold in April, but we'll just keep on singing
F C GThere's a girl in Dallas dreaming about fame
F C Am7 GA bitter golden apple, what all were you thinking?
F C GIt's a fact of life in this kind of place
Dm7These things happen
FThese things happen
[Bridge]
Dm FAnd sometimes they don't have your name on the guest list at the door
Dm FAnd sometimes you don't pick up a phone call and they don't call anymore
[Outro]
F C Am GThese things happen
F C GThese things happen
F C Am GThese things happen
F C GThese things happen
