Intro- Gm, D7/9  Gm7, Am7, Dm Bb, C 
               
               Bb   Fmaj7 F11         F7         Bb     Bbm   F      
You've got the cool water    When the fever runs high
Gm                A       A7          Dm7
   You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
C/Bb        Bb   Fmaj7   F11    B7        Bb   Bbm6
And I was in crazy motion      'til you calmed me down
F                  Gm   C11               F
  It took a little time But you calmed me down

Chorus: 
                    C/Bb   Bb              F         F9
When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it
Bb               F
I'm the first to admit it
Gm                    C
  And the last one to know 
F                   C/Bb
When something goes right
                        F    A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mmm
Bb              F            Gm      C#dim   Dm
 It's apt to confuse me 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

Same as Verses before: 
          
They've got a wall in china It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
And I've got a wall around me
That you can't even see
It took a little time
To get next to me

Chorus: 

When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right

A 

Dm                                 A
Some people never say the words "i love you"
               F7             Bb     A
It's not their style to be so bold
Dm                                 A
Some people never say the words "i love you"
           Dm    Bb      G             C
But like a child they're longing to be told, mm

Chorus:  


                    F
When something goes wrong
C/Bb  Bb                 F
      I'm the first to admit it
Bb                 F
I'm the first to admit it
Gm                  C
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
             Gm        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
