          A                            Bm7                  
 >From the time she was thirteen, Julie Thompson had a dream
      A                                  D    
 That someday she would see her name in lights
           A                          Bm7                    
 And after every high school play the grown-ups all would say
      A                              D     
 That Julie's future sure is looking bright
       F#m7             E           D                     
 Well I saw her selling videos at a store in Eastland Mall
       F#m7               E         D                   
 I said why aren't you in Hollywood taking casting calls
 Bm7                                     Esus E 
 She handed me my change and started laughing 
 
 
 Chorus 1:
           A            
 And said, life happened
 D             E               A  
 Me and Bobby Chapman fell in love
       D                   E          
 Daddy passed away and the babies came
    F#m7                       B   
 And drama school was just too much
                    D               Bm7      
 Now there's little league and mouths to feed
       D                              Esus E  
 And I direct a kindergarten Christmas pageant
      A       
 Life happened
 
 Esus E 
   
       A                        Bm7                     
 Curtis had an old Chevelle, the cops knew that car well
          A                           D   
 He never lost a race on Windy Hollow road
        A                                  Bm7                    
 By the time he turned eighteen he was the Georgia dirt track king
         A                         D  
 Proudly sponsored by the local Texaco
         F#m7         E                   D                 
 I bumped into him at Murphy's bar and he ordered us a round
       F#m7               E          D                  
 I said why aren't you in Rockingham chasing Gordon down
 Bm7                                               Esus E 
 He killed his drink and tore the corners off his napkin
 
 
 Chorus 2:
 And said, life happened
 I was driving home from Athens late one night
 A trucker fell asleep and swapped paint with me
 Said I rolled that bed at least five times
 Now I thank my stars and I sell used cars
 And I teach driver's education at St. Catherine's
 Yeah life happened
 
 B C#m 
   
           D                     
 I saw the rest of my old friends
 
 At our reunion at the Holiday Inn
        A                  E          A  B C#m 
 And it seemed like it was only yesterday 
         D                              
 Standing in the gym in our cap and gown
         A                           
 Full of wonder, lust and glory bound
       Bm7               C#m                D      
 We set out to chase our dreams on wings of passion
         Bm7                           Esus  E 
 But somewhere along the way we got distracted
 
 
 Chorus 3:
 Life happened
 Our clothes went out of fashion with our songs
 We started families and bought SUV's
 Became step dads and soccer moms
 I finally realized we turned alright
 And we spent the night just catching up and dancing
 And life happened
 
 Ends on "A"
