G G/F# Though he says he'll wait forever, Em7 A It's now or never, D But she keeps him hanging on. F#m7-5/C F#m7-5/A G The silly champion, G/F# Em Em/D She says she can't go home A/C# A D/F# Without a chaperone. Chorus: Dm Accidents will happen. F G We only hit and run. C F He used to be your victim, Bb C Now you're not the only one. Dm Accidents will happen. F G We only hit and run. C F I don't want to hear it Bb C Bb/D Bb 'Cause I know what I've done. There's so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury. But they keep you hanging on. They say you're so young. Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone. (Chorus) G | D | D/F# Bm And it's the damage that we do Em And never know. Bm It's the words that we don't say Asus4 A A6 A That scare me so. There's so many people to see, So many people you can check up on And add to your collection. But they keep you hanging on Until you're well hung. Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone. (Chorus) Bb C I know what I’ve, Bb C D Dsus2 D Dsus2 I know what I’ve done. F6 Fmaj7 F6 Fmaj7 D/F# Dsus2/F# D/F# Dsus/F# I know, I know, I know, I know (repeat to fade)
