Intro
D Gmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7
Put a bow upon the door
D Gmaj7
Sweep a glass out of the street
D D7 Gmaj7
Lay a mattress on the floor
D Gmaj7 Gmaj7/Gb
Secure the ground beneath your feet
[Chorus]
Em
'Cause love is an accident
A
Waiting to happen
D Gmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Verse 2]
D Gmaj7
Somebody to lift and hold your tongue
D Gmaj7
And be so careful what you say
D D7 Gmaj7
Play the beat with muffled drum
D Gmaj7 Gmaj7/Gb
And send the party guests away
[Chorus]
Em
’Cause love is an accident
A
Waiting to happen
D Gmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Bridge]
Em A
So don't you play that awful song
F#m B7
The one that cannot be unheard
Em A
The one that feels so right it must be wrong
F#m B7
But still you sing along to every word
Crescendo
[Chorus]
Em
'Cause love is an accident
A
Waiting to happen
D Gmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Outro]
And accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
A
