The "that" is referring to the "something"
something that happens that you can't control
something that happens, and that is something you can't control
An example of what that something might be is falling in love.
falling in love happens, and you can't control falling in love

@zzzgoo Yes, both "that"s are relative pronouns, but they are at a different syntactic level or hierarchy. The referent of the first "that" is "something", while the referent of the second "that" is "something that happens". Feb 18, 2017 at 19:28
