G                                  D             
Caught up in a conversation with a stranger in the subway station
Am                                   C
Can't remember where I'm supposed to be
G                                        D           
Pushing through the turnstile later with all the suits and alligators 
Am                              C
I feel someone brush up next to me
Am             Em
And I see you, and it blinds me
Am                                    Em
With your mama's rhinestones and your thrift store finery
Am                                          C
I've been wandering in the dark looking for someone to find me

CHORUS:

G               D              Am               C
When I close my eyes it's only you I'm thinking of
G                  D            Am              C
I don't know why I try to be so tough, to be so tough
G                     D               Am               C
A heart that will not break, it's not enough, it's not enough
G                    D              Am               C
What a beautiful mistake to fall in love, to fall in love

G                                 D           
Plastic phones and plastic faces haunting all the usual places
Am                             C
But failed and afraid is how I feel
G                               D           
In a crowd I'm still apart, the only one with a beating heart
Am                                   C
With the tears and stains to make it real
Am         Em               Am                  Em
You and I, we are the same, faded pictures in a broken frame
Am                         C
And I don't even know your name

CHORUS:

G               D              Am               C
When I close my eyes it's only you I'm thinking of
G                  D            Am              C
I don't know why I try to be so tough, to be so tough
G                     D               Am               C
A heart that will not break, it's not enough, it's not enough
G                    D              Am               C
What a beautiful mistake to fall in love, to fall in love
