New Mistake


From: Shelley Best (s_best@juno.com)


C              Cmaj7
Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman
C                        Cmaj7
Writing his love letter, best wishes simpleton
F       G                      F         G 
Dialog swims from his pen like polliwogs
(2nd half of verse is the same)

CHORUS:
Am          Am7            Dm   
You better catch me when I fall
Esus4        E
I'm on my rollerskates
Am          Am/maj7    Am7    D
But any old way that I fall
          F               G  
I land in your arms, even though it's wrong
          F/C          G
'cause I love my new mistake

SECOND VERSE SAME AS THE FIRST!!

The key change going into the lead is a D9
The chords under the lead are
Eb - Ebmaj7 - Eb - Ebmaj7
Ab - Bb - Ab - Bb (twice through)

Back to the chorus, then the big finish:
    C                         Cmaj7
The ending turned tragic when many years later
    C7                                 F      Fm
The baby had grown up & married a pop singer
       C                      D
It was her turn to make (her first mistake)
F - Am - G (repeat)
