Everything Happens to Me

Intro Verse:

Bm                 G9             Bm              G7
Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad;

   Bm         F#         G9
I must have roused the devil's wrath

        Bb7           A
'Cause all my luck is bad.


Melody:

  Em9              A9              F#m7               Gdim
I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains;

 Em7             A+            Am6               B7
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.

   Em7              C#m7-5              F#7                Bm7
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains —

Em7         A7        D6
Ev'rything happens to me.


   Em9          A9                  F#m7            Gdim
I never miss a thing — I've had the measles and the mumps,

     Em7        A+              Am6             B7
And ev'rytime I play an ace, my partner always trumps.

   Em7            C#m7-5          F#7              Bm7
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps —

Em7        A7          D
Ev'rything happens to me.


Bridge:

    Am7                    D7                   G9           G6
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me,

      Am7                 D7              G9     G6
That love would turn the trick to end despair;

     G#m7             C#7                 F#           F#6
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me —

       Bm7     F#     Bm7-5   E7      Em7       A7
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

      Em9             A9                  F#m7             Gdim
I've telegraphed and phoned, and sent an airmail special, too;

      Em7              A+                Am6           B7
Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due.

  Em7               C#m7-5            F#7            Bm7
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you —

Em7         A7         D    DM7    B7
Ev'rything happens to me, 

Em7         A7         D
Ev'rything happens to me.
