Beautiful Mistake
Guy Forsyth
Capo 4th fret
GCaught up in a conversation with a Dstranger in the subway station
AmCan't remember where I'm supposed to Cbe
GPushing through the turnstile later with Dall the suits and alligators 
AmI feel someone brush up next to Cme
AmAnd I see you, Emand it blinds me
AmWith your mama's rhinestones and your Emthrift store finery
AmI've been wandering in the dark looking for Csomeone to find me
CHORUS:
GWhen I close my Deyes it's only Amyou I'm thinking Cof
GI don't know why I Dtry to be so Amtough, to be so Ctough
GA heart that will not Dbreak, it's not Amenough, it's not Cenough
GWhat a beautiful mistDake to fall in Amlove, to fall in Clove
GPlastic phones and plastic faces hDaunting all the usual places
AmBut failed and afraid is how I Cfeel
GIn a crowd I'm still apart, the Donly one with a beating heart
AmWith the tears and stains to make it Creal
AmYou and I, Emwe are the same, Amfaded pictures in a Embroken frame
AmAnd I don't even know your Cname
CHORUS:
GWhen I close my Deyes it's only Amyou I'm thinking Cof
GI don't know why I Dtry to be so Amtough, to be so Ctough
GA heart that will not Dbreak, it's not Amenough, it's not Cenough
GWhat a beautiful mistDake to fall in Amlove, to fall in Clove
