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

I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains

I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains 
   Em7              C#5-/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

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
