VERSE 1
********

I could've worked a whole lot harder

Could've listened to my father
Could've forged ahead, rather than 
     D
just drifted through

Could've been a top man somewhere

Could've done that, lived that dream
 there
Could've been so keen there'd be so 
        G
much to do


E|E|---------------||------ 

VERSE 2
********

I made mistakes that lead me nowhere

Mistakes that made me go where
I found a locked door labelled déjà 
C
vu

And though I see so clearly
       G
Every locked door cost me dearly

   D                               
As I look back, I see that's how I 
G
grew
        D                        
And the one mistake I didn't make 
     G
was you

VERSE 3
********

I wouldn't network with the winners

Wouldn't get beyond beginners
Always thought the sinners better 
         D
than the saints could be

I wouldn't join the corporation

Wouldn't rise up to their station
Always felt that levitation was too 
G
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                               
As I look back, I see that's how I 
G
grew
        D                        
And the one mistake I didn't make 
     G
was you

         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

           G
'Cause I'll never be a grafter

It's not money that I'm after
I just need to hear your laughter in
     D
 the afternoon

I'm not chasing any dream now

Haven't got the perfect scheme now
Let it all be as it seems, just one 
     G
long honeymoon

VERSE 6
********

Oh, they can drive their big 
Mercedes

On their journey down to Hades
They can have the whole damn world 
               C
till payment’s due

Because now I see so clearly
      G
It'll cost them all so dearly
            D                      
For there's only so much time as we
      G
 pass through
        D                        
And the one mistake I didn't make 
     G
was you
