Beautiful Mistake
Guy Forsyth
Capo 4th fret
G D
Caught up in a conversation with a stranger in the subway station
Am C
Can't remember where I'm supposed to be
G D
Pushing through the turnstile later with all the suits and alligators
Am C
I feel someone brush up next to me
Am Em
And I see you, and it blinds me
Am Em
With your mama's rhinestones and your thrift store finery
Am C
I've been wandering in the dark looking for someone to find me
CHORUS:
G D Am C
When I close my eyes it's only you I'm thinking of
G D Am C
I don't know why I try to be so tough, to be so tough
G D Am C
A heart that will not break, it's not enough, it's not enough
G D Am C
What a beautiful mistake to fall in love, to fall in love
G D
Plastic phones and plastic faces arms in all the usual places
Am C
But failed and afraid is how I feel
G D
In a crowd I'm still apart, the only one with a beating heart
Am C
With the tears and stains to make it real
Am Em Am Em
You and I, we are the same, faded pictures in a broken frame
Am C
And I don't even know your name
CHORUS:
G D Am C
When I close my eyes it's only you I'm thinking of
G D Am C
I don't know why I try to be so tough, to be so tough
G D Am C
A heart that will not break, it's not enough, it's not enough
G D Am C
What a beautiful mistake to fall in love, to fall in love
