          D                      D/C#        D/B      D/A

Oh, I just don4t know where to begin
G                               G/F#
        Em7                 A
Though he says he4ll wait forever - it4s now
or never
                 D                        F#m7-5/C F#m7-5/A  G
G/F#
But she keeps him hanging on - the silly champion
        Em
             Em/D     A/C#        A     D/F#
She says she can4t go home
without a chapter one

    Dm
Accidents will happen
         F
     G
We only hit and run
        C                        F
          Bb                 C
he used to be your victim, now you4re not the
only one
      Dm
Accidents will happen
         F                 G
We
only hit and run
C                        F                  Bb  C
         Bb/D    Bb
I don4t want to hear it, 4cause I know what I4ve done


              D            D/C#        D/B    D/A
There4s so many fish in
the sea
                  G                  G/F#                        Em7
   A
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury

D                          F#m7-5/C F#7-5/A          G    G/F#
But they keep
you hanging on - they say you4re so young
           Em              Em/D
          A/C#    A    D/F#
Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone


Dm
Accidents will happen
         F                 G
We only hit and run

        C                        F                         Bb
 C
he used to be your victim, now you4re not the only one
      Dm

Accidents will happen
         F                 G
We only hit and run
C
                     F                  Bb  C                    Bb/D   G  D
D/F#
I don4t want to hear it, 4cause I know what I4ve done


        Bm                                 Em
And it4s the damage that we do
and never know
               Bm                                     Asus4
A   A6
It4s the words that we don4t say that scare me so.

     A       D
            D/C#      D/B   D/A
There4s so many people to see

     G                    G/F#                   Em7                 A
So
many people you can check upon and add to your collection
                 D
                       F#m5-7/C F#m5-7/A   G     G/F#
But they keep you
hanging on - until your well hung
           Em                 Em/D
 A/C#     A    D/F#
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone

Dm
