My Favorite Accident Chords & Tabs
I tabbed this out the way my band plays it live. It's not exactly how MCS plays it, but
pretty close and it sounds perfect if you're singing along.

Bm, A, G x4
Bm A G
I got the message long before you said you knew
Bm A G
There was no chance of us at all
Bm A
With no velocity and empty headed
G
Hard and far too long
Bm A G
I spent two years alone with you
Bm A G
Just when I thought I had forgotten
Bm A G
You came back soft without a sound
F#m G D F#m C#
You said we were an accident
F#m G D
With accidents you'll never know
Em F#m
What could have been
F#m G D F#m C#
So we were an accident
F#m G D
You'll always be my favorite one
Bm, A, G x2

skin please let me in
A G
Side the times we never had right
Bm A G
Inside two years alone with you
F#m G D F#m C#
You said we were an accident
F#m G D
With accidents you'll never know
Em F#m
What could have been
F#m G D F#m C#
So we were an accident
F#m G D
You'll always be my favorite one
F#m G D
We could have been
F#m D
We could have been
F#m G D
Instead of accidental
D Em
Running always running
Why can't you believe?
Bm A G
Long winded promises of future company
Bm A G
Up close the sound remains the same
Bm A G
Without the reign of terror over every momentary exchange
Bm A G
We are exactly as before
Bm A G
You hit the road and left me an ocean
Bm A G
I cant swim in the silence of your skin
G Bm
skin please let me in
A G
Side the times we never had right
Bm A G D
Inside no chance of us at all
That's really all there is to this song. If you can get the vocals and the rhythm right
