 Intro: 
A - Amaj7 - A - Amaj7 

 verse 1: 
A                Amaj7 
  Curtain opens, spotlights the gentleman 
   A                        Amaj7 
  Signing his love letter, "Best wishes, Simpleton" 
 Dsus2/F#  E                    Dsus2/F#      E   F#m7   G#m 
  Dialog swam from his pen like pollywogs 

 verse 2: 
A                       Amaj7 
  He knew better, that perfume was gravity 
   A                    Amaj7 
  Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy 
  Dsus2/F#      E                   Dsus2/F#      E   Fdim 
  Love is blind, deaf and dumb, but never mind 

 Chorus 1: 
F#m    E                      B 
  You better catch me when I fall 
C#                  C#7      G# - G - F# 
  I'm on my roller skates 
F#m              {F+}         A/E    B7 
 'Cause any old way that I fall 
    Dsus2/F#                 E 
  I land in your arms even though it's wrong 
        Dsus2/F#          E     F#m7   G#m 
 'Cause I love my new mistake 

 verse 3: 
A                   Amaj7 
  Intermission gave way to a miracle 
       A                   Amaj7 
  The birth of an accident grew to a spectacle 
       Dsus2/F#      E               Dsus2/F#          E   F#m7   G#m 
  That couldn't wait, her mother was three weeks late 

 verse 4: 
A                   Amaj7 
  So Father Mason, clutching his crucifix 
   A                    Amaj7 
  Baptised the baby in whiskey and liquorice 
         Dsus2/F#   E                 Dsus2/F#       E   Fdim 
  What a lovely way, drowning sins in tooth decay 

 Chorus 2: 
F#m               E            B 
  Looks like our hero's gonna fall 
C#                  C#7      G# - G - F# 
  The boughs are bound to break 
F#m              {F+}         A/E    B7 
 'Cause any old way that I fall 
    Dsus2/F#                 E 
  I land in your arms as we lie awake 
          Dsus2/F#       C#7 
 With our lovely new mistake

 Chorus 3: 
F#m           E               B 
  You better catch me when I fall 
C#                C#7    G# - G - F# 
  My sugar trampoline 
F#m              {F+}         A/E    B7 
 'Cause any old way that I fall 
         Dsus2/F#            E 
  I land in your arms even though it's wrong 
          Dsus2/F#        E     F#m7   G#m 
 'Cause I love my new mistake 

 Bridge: 
      A                         Amaj7 
  The ending turned tragic when many years later 
       A7                             D    Dm 
  The baby had grown up and married a pop singer 
                  A                    B7 
  I think it was her turn to make her first mistake

  Any old way   that I fall
