My Mistakes Eleanor Friedberger
My absolute favorite song on the album, it's quite simply played yet incredibly
fun to play along. It's just a C and F the entire time (sounds best to play bar chords)
[C] [F]
e|---8--------1----| B|---8--------1----| G|---9--------2----| D|--10--------3----| A|--10--------3----| E|---8--------1----|
Y[C]ou know i do my best thinking when I'm flying down the bridge,
H[F]umming to myself and kicking up my kicks.
J[C]iggling all around half-afraid for my life, I hope I don't crash like that night last summer,
B[F]ack when the bridge was just a wooden path, Bouncing around like he said it was 1956
[C]
Chorus:
I thought I'd learn f[F]rom my mistakes, I thought he'd learn from my mistakes,
I thought you'd give me th[C]e right advice, I thought he let me in for one last time.
[F] [C]
T[F]he planks rattle around like an old-timey movie,
In tube-top and shorts that Vice called "pull-me-down"
s[C]he's got kind of a native vibe before that was so cool
She's got kind of a native vibe before I even knew who was who[F]
A[C]nd he's ignoring me like it's 2001
W[F]hy keep time traveling if it doesn't get better on the second time around
W[C]hy keep time traveling if it doesn't get better on the second time around
Chorus:
I thought I'd learn f[F]rom my mistakes, I thought he'd learn from my mistakes,
I thought you'd give me th[C]e right advice, I thought he let me in for one last time.
[F] [C]
I[F] wore the same outfit on the day the Hasid
Followed me in his car along Park, not Avenue,
B[C]ut the one in Brooklyn, on an early Sunday morning,
I'm carrying an umbrella and talking on the phone
M[F]y mom said run, and I ran,
I crashed down Baker, cut my head and my knees
T[C]he ambulance was called by a guy his friend called Guru
T[F]hey were visiting from California, and I swear they,
I swear they, I swear they,
I swear they saved my life[C]
Chorus: (x2)
I thought i'd learn f[F]rom my mistakes, I thought he'd learn from my mistakes,
I thought you'd give me th[C]e right advice, I thought he let me in for one last time.
Outro: F C (repeat until fade)
