Oh, I just don4t know where to begin
Though he says he4ll wait forever - it4s now
or never
-5/
-5/
But she keeps him hanging on - the silly champion
She says she can4t go home
without a chapter one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
he used to be your victim, now you4re not the
only one
Accidents will happen
We
only hit and run
I don4t want to hear it, 4cause I know what I4ve done
There4s so many fish in
the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
-5/
-5/
But they keep
you hanging on - they say you4re so young
Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
he used to be your victim, now you4re not the only one
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
I don4t want to hear it, 4cause I know what I4ve done
And it4s the damage that we do
and never know
It4s the words that we don4t say that scare me so.
There4s so many people to see
So
many people you can check upon and add to your collection
Fm5-7/
Fm5-7/
But they keep you
hanging on - until your well hung
Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
he used to be your victim, now you4re not the only one
Accidents
will happen
We only hit and run
I don4t want to
hear it, 4cause I know what I4ve
I know what I4ve, I know what I4ve
done
I know, I know
