is brand new, it's called My Favorite Mistake.
And I was thinking about what to talk about about this song,
because I've already been asked, who's it about, is it about,
I'm not even going to go there.
But I saw this biography on Carly Simon,
and there was so much speculation about whether your song was about Mick Jagger or Warren Beatty.
And this song [Bm] really is about the bad relationship that you look back with fondness,
and you know you'd do it all over again, although it was bad from the beginning.
So when asked who this song is really about,
I think I'm going to say Warren Beatty or Mick Jagger.

[Bm] You, you
I
[A] woke [B] up and caught this morning
[A] The tone [B] of your voice [Bm] was a [C] warning
That you [G] don't care for me [Bm] anymore
[A] Laid out [Bm] the bed, we're sleeping
[A] I looked at [Bm] the clock when you're grieving
[C] It's [G] 6am and I'm [Bm] alone
[D] [G] You didn't know [Em] when you'd go, it's a perfect [D] ending

[A] When it comes [Bm] to sacred love
[A] I should be [Bm] like any other
[C] Until [G] your guilt goes up [Bm] in flames
[D] [Em] You didn't know when you'd go, it's a [C] perfect [D] ending

That I ever [Em] loved
[D] Now [Em]
everything's so low
[C] [G]
[C] [D] Did you [Em]
see me walking [C] by
[D] Did it ever [Em] make you [D] cry
