INTRO:
A - Amaj7 - A - Amaj7
VERSE 1:
Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman
Signing his love letter, "Best wishes, Simpleton"
Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs
VERSE 2:
He knew better, that perfume was gravity
Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy
Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind
CHORUS 1:
You better catch me when I fall
C# C#7 (A - G# - F#)
I'm on my roller skates
'Cause any old way that I fall
I land in your arms even though it's wrong
'Cause I love my new mistake
VERSE 3:
Intermission gave way to a miracle
The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle
That couldn't wait, her mother was three weeks late
VERSE 4:
So Father Mason, clutching his crucifix
Baptised the baby in whiskey and liquorice
What a lovely way, drowning sins in tooth decay
CHORUS 2:
Looks like our hero's gonna fall
C# C#7 (A - G# - F#)
The boughs are bound to break
'Cause any old way that I fall
I land in your arms as we lie awake
With our lovely new mistake
INSTRUMENTAL: (Verse key change) (x2)
C - Cmaj7 - C - Cmaj7
F - G - D - G
CHORUS 3:
You better catch me when I fall
C# C#7 (A - G# - F#)
My sugar trampoline
'Cause any old way that I fall
I land in your arms even though it's wrong
'Cause I love my new mistake
BRIDGE:
The ending turned tragic when many years later
The baby had grown up and married a pop singer
I think it was her turn to make her first mistake
INTERLUDE: (x2)
D - F#m - E
D - Esus4 - E
OUTRO: (Repeat to fade)
Any old time at all
Any old way that I fall
