Words & music By Paul Simon 1973
Gm D7+9|Gm7 Am7|Dm Bb C
No chord |Bb Fmaj7|
You've got the cool water
F11 F7 |Bb |Bbm6 F|
When the fever runs high
Gm |A+5 A7 |Dm7
You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
C/Bb |Bb Fmaj7 |
And I was in crazy motion
F11 B7 Bb Bbm|
'Til you calmed me down
F |Gm7
It took a little time
C11 |F |
But you calmed me down
|C/Bb
When something goes wrong
Bb |F F9|
I'm the first to admit it
Bb7 |F |
I'm the first to admit it
Gm7 C11 |
And the last one to know
F |C/Bb
when something goes right
|F A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
Bb7 |F
It's apt to confuse me
Gm7 C#dim|Dm
It's such an unusual sight
A7 |Bb F |G7
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
C11 |Bb F|Bb F|Gm7 Am7|Dm Bb C
Something so right
No chord |Bb Fmaj7|
They've got a wall in China
F11 F7 |Bb |Bbm6 F|
It's a thousand miles long
Gm |A+5 A7 |Dm7
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
C/Bb |Bb Fmaj7 |
And I've got a wall around me
F11 B7 Bb Bbm|
That you can't even see
F |Gm7
It took a little time
C11 |F |
To get next to me
|C/Bb
When something goes wrong
Bb |F F9|
I'm the first to admit it
Bb7 |F |
I'm the first to admit it
Gm7 C11 |
And the last one to know
F |C/Bb
when something goes right
|F A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
Bb7 |F
It's apt to confuse me
Gm7 C#dim|Dm
because it's such an unusual sight
A7 |Bb F |G7
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
C11 |F Gm|Am A+5 A|
Something so right
Dm |A
Some people never say the words "I love you"
|F7
It's not their style
|Bb A+5 A|
to be so bold
Dm |A
Some people never say the words "I love you"
|Dm Bb G7 C7sus|C7
But like a child they're longing to be told, mm
|F |C/Bb
When something goes wrong
Bb |F F9|
I'm the first to admit it
Bb7 |F |
I'm the first to admit it
Gm7 C11 |
And the last one to know
F |C/Bb
when something goes right
|F A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
Bb7 |F
It's apt to confuse me
Gm7 C#dim|Dm
because it's such an unusual sight
A7 |Bb F |G7 |Gm7
I swear, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
C11 |F |Gm |Am |Bb |F
Something so right
