Everything Happens To Me
Chet Baker
Just Basic Chords…Have fun Embellishing Them
Verse 1
[Bm7] [E7]
I make a date for golf
[C#m7] [Cdim]
And you can bet your life it rains
[Bm7] [E7]
I try to give a party
[C#m7b5] [F#7]
And the guy upstairs complains
[Bm7] [Dm7] [G7]
I guess I'll go through life just
[C#m7] [F#7]
Catching colds and missing trains
[Bm7] [E7] [A6]
Everything happens to me
Verse 2
[Bm7] [E7]
I never miss a thing
[C#m7] [Cdim]
I've had the measles and the mumps
[Bm7] [E7]
And every time I lay an ace
[C#m7b5] [F#7]
My partner always trumps
[Bm7] [Dm7] [G7]
I guess I'm just a fool who never
[C#m7] [F#7]
looks before he jumps
[Bm7] [E7] [A6]
Oh, everything happens to me
Bridge
[Em7] [A7#9]
At first my heart thought you could
[Dmaj7] [Bm7]
break this jinx for me
[Em7] [A7b9]
And that love would do the trick
[Dmaj7]
To end despair
[D#m7] [G#7#9]
But now I just can't fool
[C#maj7]
This head that thinks for me
[F#m7] [B7] [Bm7] [E7]
So I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
Verse 3
[Bm7] [E7]
I've telegraphed and phoned
[C#m7] [Cdim]
Sent an airmail special too
[Bm7] [E7]
Your answer was Goodbye
[C#m7b5] [F#7]
There was even postage due
[Bm7 Dm7
I fell in love just once
[G7] [C#m7] [F#7]
And then it had to be with you
[Bm7] [E7] [A]
Everything happens to me
Verse 3
[Bm7] [E7]
I've telegraphed and phoned
[C#m7] [Cdim]
Sent an airmail special too
[Bm7] [E7]
Your answer was Goodbye
[C#m7b5] [F#7]
There was even postage due
[Bm7 Dm7
I fell in love just once
[G7] [C#m7] [F#7]
And then it had to be with you
[Bm7] [E7] [A]
Everything happens to me
End
