Accidents Will Happen Chords by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[D] Oh, I just don't know where to begin
_ _ [G] Love is so sweet forever
[Em] It's [A] now or never
[D] But she keeps on hanging on
[Am] _
To still the [G] tender _ [D] arms
[G] She says she can't go home
[A] Without her [D] _ chaperone
Excellence will happen
When all [G] we're hurting [C] runs
Used to [F] be your victim
[Bb] Now you're not [C] the only one
[D] Excellence will happen
When all [G] we're hurting [C] runs
I don't [F] wanna hear it
[Bb] Cause I [C] know [Bb] what I've _ shown
_ [D] _ [Bb] There's _ _
_ _ [D] strong and efficient _ mercy
That [G] only rise [D] up in the sweat
[G] Smoke like [A] mercury
[D] Hope they keep you hanging [Am] on
They [D] say [G] you're so _ [D] young
[G] Your mind is made up
[A] But your mouth [D] is undone
Excellence will happen
When [F] all [G] we're hurting [C] runs
Used to be [F] your victim
[Bb] Now you're not [C] the only [D] one
Excellence will happen
When all [G] we're hurting [C] runs
I don't wanna [F] hear [Bb] it
Cause I [C] know [Bb] what I've shown
_ _ _ [G] Yeah, _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ it's the [Bm] damage that we do
And [Em] never know
[Bm] It's the words that we don't say
[A] That scare me so
[D] There's so many people to see
So [G] many people [D] you can joke [Em] upon
And add to [A] your collection
[D] They keep you hanging [Am] on _
[D] Until [G] you well up
[Em] Your mouth is [G] made up
But [A] your mind [D] is undone
Excellence will happen
When all [G] we're hurting runs
[C] Used to [F] be your victim
[Bb] Now you're not [C] the only [D] one
Excellence will happen
[F] When all [G] we're hurting [C] runs
I don't [F] wanna hear it
[Bb] _ [C] Cause I know [Bb] what I've
[F] I [C] know what [Bb] I've
[F] I [C] know what [Dm] I've done
