Accidents Will Happen    Elvis Costello

D                      D/C#        D/B      D/A
Oh, I just don't know where to begin
G                               G/F#            Em7                 A
Though he says he'll wait forever - it's now or never
                 D                        F#m7-5/C F#m7-5/A  G  G/F#
But she keeps him hanging on - the silly champion
        Em                        Em/D     A/C#        A     D/F#
She says she can't go home without a chaperone
    Dm
Accidents will happen
         F                 G
We only hit and run
        C                        F                         Bb                 C
he used to be your victim, now you're not the only one
      Dm

We only hit and run

I don't want to hear it, 'cause I know what I've done


              D            D/C#        D/B    D/A
There's so many fish in the sea
                  G                  G/F#                        Em7    A
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
                 D                          F#m7-5/C F#7-5/A          G    G/F#
But they keep you hanging on - they say you're so young
           Em              Em/D              A/C#    A    D/F#
Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone

We only hit and run
        C                        F                         Bb                 C
he used to be your victim, now you're not the only one
      Dm
Accidents will happen
         F                 G
We only hit and run
C                        F                  Bb  C                    Bb/D   G  D  D/F#
I don't want to hear it, 'cause I know what I've done


                       Bm                                 Em
And it's the damage that we do and never know
               Bm                                     Asus4  A   A6
It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.


     A       D              D/C#      D/B   D/A
There's so many people to see
                   G                    G/F#                   Em7                 A
So many people you can check upon and add to your collection
                 D                        F#m5-7/C F#m5-7/A   G     G/F#
But they keep you hanging on - until your well hung
           Em                 Em/D          A/C#     A    D/F#
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

We only hit and run

he used to be your victim, now you're not the only one
      Dm
Accidents will happen

We only hit and run

I don't want to hear it, 'cause I know what I've
