Intro-C Bb Am F Am C F

Couplet:

     F         
When love comes so late
      C
It’ll really hit hard
    Bb
It slams through the gate
       F 
It’ll catch you off guard

And everyone said
what a perfect love match
And she is so smart
She is a hell of a catch

      Am 
I was drinking in love
Bb
Gulping it down

Drifting for months
     C
On a billowing cloud
    
But after a while
I start to rebel
I’m back in the past
And I’m raising up hell

Refrein:

      Bb
But I think I just made
                          F  
The biggest msitake of my life
      Bb                                          F    
And I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life

Couplet:

We’d been living together for over a year
The harmony’s perfect, it rang loud and clear
But then very slowly, my nerves start to fray
It’s the little things baby
That’s what they say

I acted impatient, acted unkind
I took her for granted
I played with her mind
She didn’t deserve it, but it was too late
I walked out the door and left her to her fate


Refrein:

But I think I just made
The biggest mistake of my life
But I think I just made
The biggest mistake of my life

Am C F

Couplet:

Now I’m down in a slump
And I’m eating alone
I’m rueing the day
With some friends on the phone

I never go out I’m becoming a grouch
I just watch the tv and I drink on the couch

If love comes again I’ll be really surprised
I’ll grab it real fast
Keep it right in my sights

Couplet:

'Cause I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
