[Verse 1]
C# F#maj7
Put a bow upon the door
C# F#maj7
Sweep a glass out of the street

Lay a mattress on the floor

Secure the ground beneath your feet

Waiting to happen

To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Verse 2]

Somebody to lift and hold your tongue
C# F#maj7
And be so careful what you say
C# C#7 F#maj7
Play the beat with muffled drum
C# F#maj7 F#maj7/F
And send the party guests away

’Cause love is an accident

Waiting to happen

To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Bridge]
D#m G#
So don't you play that awful song
Fm A#7
The one that cannot be unheard
D#m G#
The one that feels so right it must be wrong
Fm A#7
But still you sing along to every word
Crescendo
[Chorus]
D#m
'Cause love is an accident
G#
Waiting to happen
C# F#maj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Outro]
And accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
