Intro
G Cmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
G Cmaj7
Put a bow upon the door
G Cmaj7
Sweep a glass out of the street
G G7 Cmaj7
Lay a mattress on the floor
G Cmaj7 Cmaj7/Cb
Secure the ground beneath your feet
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause love is an accident
D
Waiting to happen
G Cmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Verse 2]
G Cmaj7
Somebody to lift and hold your tongue
G Cmaj7
And be so careful what you say
G G7 Cmaj7
Play the beat with muffled drum
G Cmaj7 Cmaj7/Cb
And send the party guests away
[Chorus]
Am
’Cause love is an accident
D
Waiting to happen
G Cmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Bridge]
Am D
So don't you play that awful song
Bm E7
The one that cannot be unheard
Am D
The one that feels so right it must be wrong
Bm E7
But still you sing along to every word
Crescendo
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause love is an accident
D
Waiting to happen
G Cmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Outro]
And accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
