C Am There was a time I could stop on a dime C A Forbearance was one of my talents Dm Am Dm A But since you've been around I can't hold my ground Dm G7 I'm consistently losing my balance C Am I'm an accident waiting to happen C A I'm a mishap about to ensue Dm Am I'm the toy on the stair Dm Am The three legged chair Dm G7 The hem that's been caught by a shoe C Am When my two lovesick arms started flappin' C C7 A There was nothing my ankles could do Dm G7 I'm an accident waiting to happen Dm G7 C So how be I happen to you
C Am When men say I'm sweet and they fall at my feet C A My heart doesn't beat any faster Dm Am But when you lose control Dm A It touches my soul Dm G7 So I'm bracing myself for disaster C Am You're an accident waiting to happen C A A catastrophe destined to be Dm Am I'm the rags in the cellar Dm Am A broken umbreller Am G7 A branch hanging loose from a tree C Am I can see myself jumpin' and clappin' C c7 A For a man who lives dangerously Dm G7 You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen Dm G7 C So hurry and happen to me Dm G7 You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen Dm G7 C So hurry and happen to me
