So I staGnd up 
Feel the neeA7sus4dles in my feet 
And my legs arCadd9e still asleep 
But it's the mornGing 
Fold the blankets 
Shake the grass out of the sheets 
Throw it all in my back seat 
And drive you home 
Yeah knoEm7wing me and knowing you Cadd9  
The staEm7rs could not have had a clue Cadd9  
We neveEm7r meant to start thCadd9is thing between us D  
A7sus4It just haGppened that wayD  
Ya know sometimeEm7s it doesCadd9  
Sometimes the planets align G  
And you both lose time, Can't chDange your mind

By tomorrow 
We may be the talk of town 
Yeah word will get around 
That we're together 
Oh but the thing is, girl 
They will never understand 
It was just an accident 
That kinda worked out 
Yeah knowing me and knowing you 
I think we can both agree 
We never meant to start this thing between us 
It just happened that way 
Ya know sometimes it does 
Sometimes the planets align 
And you both lose time 
Can't change your mind 
It just happned that way 
No time to invest 
Just pray for the best 
And you say 
Oh love 
EmWe could run yeah, we could Crun away A7sus4  
Thinking it over 
We could run yeah, we should run away 
Would you come with me 
We could run yeah, we should run away 
Thinking it over 
I'm smiling 
Cause I know that they will see 
Our straight and narrow ways just took a turn 
We'll take a highway without ever looking back 
And in ten years we can laugh at how we got there 
Yeah knowing me and knowing you 
The stars could not have had a clue 
We never meant to start this thing between us 
It just happened that way 
Ya know sometimes it does 
Sometimes the planets align 
And you both lose time 
Can't change your mind 
It just happened that way 
No time to invest 
Just pray for the best 
Oh and I know it's a mess 
We'll pray for the best 
We'll say 
It just happened that way 
Just happened that way
