[Verse 1] 0’44”
D                   E         F         G
 Made the fatal mistake,
D                   E         F         G
 Like I did once before,
D                   E         F         G
 A tendency just to take,
D                   E         F         G
 Till the purpose turned sour,

(Break)

[Chorus] 1’11”
D
Strain, take the strain,
A
These days,   we love,
D
Strain, take the strain,
A
These days,   we love.

[Verse 2] 1’44”
D                   E         F         G
 Yeah, the only mistake,
D                   E         F         G
 Was that you ran away,
D                    E         F         G
 Avenues lined with trees,
D                        E         F         G
 Strangled words for the day,

[Verse 3] 2’06”
D5                  E5         F5         G5
  Yeah, the only mistake,
D5                   E5         F5         G5
  Like I made once before,
D5                  E5         F5         G5
  Yeah, the only mistake,
D5                     E5         F5         G5
  Could have made it before.

Strain, take the strain,
A
These days,   we love.

[Verse 4] 3’09”
D                E         F         G
 And the only mistake,
D                E         F         G
 Led to rumors unfounded,
D                   E         F         G
 Led to pressures unknown,
D                       E         F         G
 Different feelings and sounds,
D                 E         F         G
 Yeah the only mistake,
D                   E         F         G
 Like I made once before,
D5                 E5         F5         G5
 Yeah, the only mistake,
D5                    E5         F5         G5
 Could have made it before.
