[Verse]

Dm9                      G9            G7      Em7               F#dim
I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains;
Dm7                  G7               C9                   A7
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.
Gdim                       Fdim                   Em7                   A7
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains
Dm7            G7           Cma7 A7
Ev'rything happens to me.

[Verse]

Dm9                   G9 G7              Em7             F#dim
I never miss a thing I've had the measles and the mumps,
Dm7                 G7                     C9                   A7
And ev'rytime I play an ace, my partner always trumps.
Gdim                    Fdim                 Em7                A7
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Dm7             G7          C6
Ev'rything happens to me

[Bridge]

Gm7                                  C7/G        C7/F#       F         F6
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me,
Gm7                              C7/G    C7/F#  F     F6
That love would turn the trick to end despair;
F#m7                    B7/F#       B7/F          E             E6
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
Am7                         D9                   Dm7 G7
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

[Outro]

Dm9                     G9      G7            Em7                       F#dim
I've telegraphed and phoned, and sent an airmail special, too;
Dm7                       G7                C9             A7
Your answer was "Good bye" and there was even postage due.
Gdim                  Fdim                      Em7             A7
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you
Dm7         G7                C Cma7 A7
Ev'rything happens to me,
Dm7          G7              C
Ev'rything happens to me
