Made the fatal mistake,
D E F G
Like I did once before,

A tendency just to take,
D E F G
Till the purpose turned sour,

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

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,

Led to pressures unknown,
D E F G
Different feelings and sounds,

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.
