The Divine Comedy - The Best Mistakes

[Intro]
A Bm7 F#m7 D

[Verse 1]
A Bm7 F#m7 D
I’ve thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life
A Bm7 F#m7 D
Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right
D E D C#m7
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here
F G F
All the fights and late night conversations
F E
All the wasted tears

[Chorus]
E A D Bm E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
A D Bm E
I’m not an angel, but then again I’m no fake
A D Bm E
And I don’t regret a single day
D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
D Bm E A
(The best mistakes I’ve ever made)

[Verse 2]
A Bm7 F#m7 D
I’ve tried to throw the past out I’ve tried to shed my skin
A Bm7 F#m7 D
But the days go by so fast now I kind of like remembering
D E D C#m7
The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own
F G F
The new sound, the overnight sensation
F E7
Flying so high that I couldn’t let go

[Chorus]
E A D Bm E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
A D Bm E
I’m not an angel, but then again I’m no fake
A D Bm E
And I don’t regret a single day
D Bm E A D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
D Bm E A D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made

[Bridge]
F#m D A E
I did my time on the merry-go-round
Em Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/G F#m
And if I had to choose between then and now
F#m A Bm7 F#m7 D x2
I’d choose now
D E D C#m7
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here
F G F
All the fights and late night conversations
F G
All the wasted tears

[Chorus]
E A D Bm E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
A D Bm E
I’m not an angel, but then again I’m no fake
A D Bm E
And I don’t regret a single day
D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made

[Outro]
E A D Bm E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
A D Bm E
I’ve been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake
A D Bm E
And I don’t regret a single day
D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
D Bm E A
(The best mistakes I’ve ever made)
D Bm E A D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
