Вступление
MY MOST BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE
As recorded by Elvis Costello & The Imposters
(From the 2022 Album THE BOY NAMED IF)
[Intro]
C#m B
[Verse 1]
A E A E
She was a part-time waitress with a dream of greatness
D A D A
That nobody knew or even suspected
E D A
Though it was sometimes reflected in the slant of a mirror
D A
It was buried so deep and so dear
[Chorus]
E
She caught the eye of a guy passing by who said
B A
"My, if I prove to be faithless, you'll surely know why
A
Oh, why?
A
You'll probably know why"
E
Then again you may say
B
"Mister, you've got a nerve
E A
Most of us never get just what we deserve"
A
I'll smile sweetly
A
"I'm here at your service"
C#m
And the camera walks us through into a sunlit room
B
Where a one-hit wonder lives
A E
And he says, "Action" and, "That's a take"
A G#m C#m E
You are my most beautiful mistake
[Verse 2]
A E A E
"It's not your reputation I'm trying to besmirch"
D A D A
"I'm here undercover, I'm writing this screenplay"
E D A
"You might be my inspiration, it's beyond my control"
D A
"So it's my soulful and wounded expression, that you'd like to console?"
[Chorus]
E B
There's a hand that lingers a little too long
A
There are lies you will hear, that they're singing right now
A
Right here, right here in this song
C#m
And the lens pulls the focus on his magnum opus
B
He's a one-hit wonder kid
A E
And he says, "Action" and, "That's a take"
A G#m C#m E
You are my most beautiful mistake
[Bridge]
C#m F#m B E
He made a portrait of her face out of burnt out matches
C#m F#m B E
She said "The trouble is, Sunshine, I know what the catch is
C#m G#7 C#m
You'll offer me nothing, you'll offer me riches
D N.C. A
I've seen your kind before in courtroom sketches"
[Verse 3]
A E
From the booth in the corner
A E
From a different perspective
D A D A
Where a man plays the fool or a private detective
E D A
He wrote her name out in sugar on a Formica counter
D A
"You could be the game that captures the hunter"
G#m C#m
Then he went out for cigarettes
G#m C#m
As the soundtrack played The Marvelettes
[Chorus]
E
Let me check the script
B
Check the continuity
B
You'll be up on that screen for eternity
A
The billboard will spit
A
"That look! That's it!"
E
Take a little pill and you will get over it
B E A
The light will hit you if you drop that hint
A
Now "Cut" and "Print"
C#m
And the camera walks us through into a low-lit room
B
Where a one-hit wonder lives
A E
And he says, "Action" and "That's a take"
A G#m C#m B
You are my most beautiful mistake
[Outro]
C#m F#m B E
She left a tip in the jar and a note at the door
C#m F#m B E
It said, "I'm going away, I won't be back anymore
G#m C#m G#m C#m
If the call should come later to commute my sentence"
D A
"Dance a little jig for my repentance"
D A
"Dance a little jig for my repentance"
D A D A D
"Dance a little jig for my repentance"
