VERSE 1
********
I could've worked a whole lot harder
Could've listened to my father
D
Could've forged ahead, rather than just drifted through
Could've been a top man somewhere
Could've done that, lived that dream there
G
Could've been so keen there'd be so much to do
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 2
********
I made mistakes that lead me nowhere
Mistakes that made me go where
C
I found a locked door labelled déjà vu
And though I see so clearly
G
Every locked door cost me dearly
D G
As I look back, I see that's how I grew
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 3
********
I wouldn't network with the winners
Wouldn't get beyond beginners
D
Always thought the sinners better than the saints could be
I wouldn't join the corporation
Wouldn't rise up to their station
G
Always felt that levitation was too much for me
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 4
********
I couldn't solve the big conundrum
So, I settled for the humdrum
C
Decided that I didn't have a clue
And though I see so clearly
G
They all thought it cost me dearly
D G
As I look back, I see that's how I grew
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
E|E|---------------||------
BRIDGE
*******
C G
I didn't make that big mistake
A7
Though I made a lot of small ones
D
Made a lot of trip and fall ones
C G
Now we're free, that's history
A7
So let's take our time don't hurry
D
There's no need for all that worry
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 5
********
G
'Cause I'll never be a grafter
It's not money that I'm after
D
I just need to hear your laughter in the afternoon
I'm not chasing any dream now
Haven't got the perfect scheme now
G
Let it all be as it seems, just one long honeymoon
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 6
********
Oh, they can drive their big Mercedes
On their journey down to Hades
C
They can have the whole damn world till payment’s due
Because now I see so clearly
G
It'll cost them all so dearly
D G
For there's only so much time as we pass through
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
Because now I see so clearly
G
It'll cost them all so dearly
D G
For there's only so much time as we pass through
D G
And the one mistake I didn't make was you
