A Bm7 F#m7 D

[Verse 1]
A                 Bm7          F#m7       D
I've thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life
A              Bm7        F#m7             D
Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right
D                   E                D               C#m7
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here
F                  G                       F
All the fights and late night conversations
F              E
All the wasted tears

[Chorus]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
           A          D          Bm     E
I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake
      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day
              D       Bm         E    A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
     D       Bm         E    A
(The best mistakes I've ever made)

[Verse 2]
A             Bm7               F#m7             D
I've tried to throw the past out I've tried to shed my skin
A                Bm7          F#m7                D
But the days go by so fast now I kind of like remembering
D              E                     D               C#m7
The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own
F                  G                  F
The new sound, the overnight sensation
F                     E7
Flying so high that I couldn't let go

[Chorus]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
           A          D          Bm     E
I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake
      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day
              D       Bm         E    A    D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
              D       Bm         E    A    D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made

[Bridge]
F#m          D        A       E
I did my time on the merry-go-round
Em              Bm     Bm/A    Bm/G# Bm/G F#m
And if I had to choose between then  and  now
F#m         A  Bm7 F#m7 D x2
I'd choose now
D                   E                D               C#m7
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here
F                  G                       F
All the fights and late night conversations
F              G
All the wasted tears

[Chorus]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
           A          D          Bm     E
I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake
      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day
              D       Bm         E    A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made

[Outro]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
            A       D          Bm           E
I've been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake
      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day
              D       Bm         E    A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
     D       Bm         E    A
(The best mistakes I've ever made)
              D       Bm         E    A    D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
