Everything Happens To Me

	  		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#m5-/7             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#m5-/7          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#     Bm5-/7   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#m5-/7            F#7            Bm7 
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you — 
Em7         A7         D    D7M    B7 
Ev'rything happens to me,  
Em7         A7         D 
Ev'rything happens to me.
