[Bm] I make a [E] date for golf and [C#m] you can bet your life it lays
[Cm] [Bm] Try to [E] give a party [C#] and the guy upstairs [Bm] complains
Guess I'll go through life [C#m] just catching coals and missing trays
[Bm] Everything [E] happens to me
[D#] I [Dm] never miss a thing, [C#m] I've had the measles and [F] the mumps
[Bm] And every time I [C#m] play an ace, my partner always trumps
[F#m] Guess I'm just a fool [E] who never looks before he [Bm] jumps
Everything [A] happens to me
[F#m] [Em] At first my heart thought you [D] would break this jinx for me
[Em] That love would turn [A#m] the trick to [D] end despair
But [D#] now [G#] I just can't fool [Fm] this head that thinks for me
[C#] I've [F] mortgaged all my castles [D] in the air
[E] [Bm] I've [D] telegraphed and phoned, [E] sent an airmail special to
[F#m] Answer [E] was goodbye, and there was even postage [Bm] due
I fell [F#m] in love just once, [C#m] and then it had to be with [Bm] you
[E] Everything happens to me
[F#m] I try to sing a song and then the [C] conversation flows
[G#] [C#m] So I sing a little stronger than the [C#m] whirring mixer [G#m] goes
The whirring [C#] mixer goes
Just got his card, he's very happy
And then to top it [C#m] off, somebody has to blow his nose
Please, [F#m] everything happens to me
So then [Dm] I make a movie, though it's little claim to fame
The [E] part was very tiny, didn't even see my name
[Bm] But I clicked my scenes off perfectly
[E] And the cutter did the same
[F#m] Everything [B] happens to me
And when the [A#] room is loaded [D] with celebrities
Magazine [A#m] photographers come in
They're busy [Fm] filming all of those festivities
While here [B] I sit with [Bm] gravy on my chin
[C#m] So then I [Dm] write a song [C#m] that the [F#] publishers avoid
[Bm] But the record companies take a [E] chance
So I'm [Bm] overjoyed, but it never gets a [Dm] play
It's on the [A#] back of Jimmy Boyd
[A#] [Bm] Everything happens to [C#] me
Everything happens to [A#] me
