Verse 1
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
E F#m
And you’re never coming ’round
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired
E F#m D
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Verse 2
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous
E F#m
That the best of all the years have gone by
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
E F#m
And then I see the look in your eyes
Chorus
D A
Turn around, bright eyes
D A Bm
Every now and then I fall apart
D A
Turn around, bright eyes
D A Bm
Every now and then I fall apart
Verse 3
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit restless
E F#m
And I dream of some-thing wild
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit helpless
E F#m D
And I’m lying like a child in your arms
Verse 4
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit angry
E F#m
And I know I’ve got to get out and cry
A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
E F#m
But then I see the look in your eyes
Chorus
D A
Turn around, bright eyes
D A Bm
Every now and then I fall apart
D A
Turn around, bright eyes
D A Bm
Every now and then I fall apart
Bridge
F#m D
And I need you now tonight
F#m D
And I need you more than ever
A E
And if you’ll only hold me tight
F#m D
We’ll be holding on for-ever
A E
And we’ll only be making it right
F#m D
‘Cause we’ll never be wrong to-gether
A E F#m
We can take it to the end of the line
D A E
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
F#m D A E
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
F#m D A E
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
Chorus
D A
Turn around, bright eyes
D A Bm
Every now and then I fall apart
D A
Turn around, bright eyes
D A Bm
Every now and then I fall apart
Outro
A E F#m D A E F#m
Turn around, every now and then I know you’ll never be the boy you always wanted to be
A E F#m D A E F#m
Turn around, every now and then I know you’ll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
A E F#m D A E F#m
Turn around, every now and then I know there’s no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
A E F#m D A E F#m D A
Turn around, every now and then I know there’s nothing any better, there’s nothing that I just would rather do
Practice tip: Master the verse chord progression (A, E, F#m, D, A) slowly before adding the strum pattern, as it forms the backbone of the song. The bridge has many quick changes, so isolate that section and loop it.
