Intro
C Fmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7
Put a bow upon the door
C Fmaj7
Sweep a glass out of the street
C C7 Fmaj7
Lay a mattress on the floor
C Fmaj7 Fmaj7/Fb
Secure the ground beneath your feet
[Chorus]
Dm
'Cause love is an accident
G
Waiting to happen
C Fmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
Somebody to lift and hold your tongue
C Fmaj7
And be so careful what you say
C C7 Fmaj7
Play the beat with muffled drum
C Fmaj7 Fmaj7/Fb
And send the party guests away
[Chorus]
Dm
’Cause love is an accident
G
Waiting to happen
C Fmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Bridge]
Dm G
So don't you play that awful song
Em A7
The one that cannot be unheard
Dm G
The one that feels so right it must be wrong
Em A7
But still you sing along to every word
Crescendo
[Chorus]
Dm
'Cause love is an accident
G
Waiting to happen
C Fmaj7
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
[Outro]
And accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
