[Intro]
Am E7 Gm F E7
[Verse 1]
How soon as Amwe forget how we feE7lt?
Dealing with eGmmotions that never left
Playing with the Fhand that we were dealt in this gE7ame
Maybe I'm the Amsinner, and you're the E7saint
Gotta stop preGmtending what we ain't
Why we pointing Ffingers anyway when we're all the sE7ame?
[Pre-Chorus]
AmBreak up, make up
E7Total waste of Gmtime
Can we please make up our Fminds?
And stop acting like we’re bE7lind?
'Cause if the water Amdries up
And the E7moon stops shining
GmStars fall, and the world goes blind
Boy, yFou know I'll be savin' my love for yE7ou, for you
[Chorus]
'Cause Amyou're the bE7est mistake I've Gmever made

[Verse 2]
I guess tAmime's wasting
Tick-tocE7kin', lip lockin'
How cGman we keep the feelings fresh? How do we zip lock it?
Wear your heFart up on your sleeve
So watch out for pickpockets
I guE7ess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it
Hold Amup, I know love can be a beE7ach with no shore
I done Gmcount to ten, lost my temper and went back to four
I know sometFimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need
I had a dE7ream we branched out, started a family tree, huh
And I Amfeel like that everything we E7do is overdue
You asked Gmwhy I love your mom so much, 'cause she's a older you
I wish that yFou were happy
I guess that's the one thing I should be providing
Ain't no nE7umber twos
We both ones of ones, and we the oddest Amcouple
Only humans, 'cept E7you, you a goddess
Only lyGming to you when I lie you down, just bein' honest
When you sFtart as friends, it's hard to say you're never going back
If I'm nE7ot the one, then I'm the best mistake you ever had
[Pre-Chorus]
AmBreak up, make up
E7Total waste of Gmtime
Can we please make up our Fminds?

[Intro]

Am E7 Gm F E7

[Verse 1]

Am E7

How soon as we forget how we felt?

Dealing with emotions that never left

F E7

Playing with the hand that we were dealt in this game

Am E7

Maybe I'm the sinner, and you're the saint

Gotta stop pretending what we ain't

F E7

Why we pointing fingers anyway when we're all the same?

[Pre-Chorus]

Break up, make up

E7 Gm

Total waste of time

Can we please make up our minds?

And stop acting like we’re blind?

'Cause if the water dries up

And the moon stops shining

Stars fall, and the world goes blind

F E7

Boy, you know I'll be savin' my love for you, for you

[Chorus]

Am E7 Gm

'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made

F E7

But we hold on, mm, hold on

Am E7 Gm

There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase

F E7

But we're holding on, mm, hold on, ayy

[Verse 2]

I guess time's wasting

Tick-tockin', lip lockin'

How can we keep the feelings fresh? How do we zip lock it?

Wear your heart up on your sleeve

So watch out for pickpockets

I guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it

Am E7

Hold up, I know love can be a beach with no shore

I done count to ten, lost my temper and went back to four

I know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need

I had a dream we branched out, started a family tree, huh

Am E7

And I feel like that everything we do is overdue

You asked why I love your mom so much, 'cause she's a older you

I wish that you were happy

I guess that's the one thing I should be providing

Ain't no number twos

We both ones of ones, and we the oddest couple

Only humans, 'cept you, you a goddess

Only lying to you when I lie you down, just bein' honest

When you start as friends, it's hard to say you're never going back

If I'm not the one, then I'm the best mistake you ever had

[Pre-Chorus]

Break up, make up

E7 Gm

Total waste of time

Can we please make up our minds?

And stop acting like we’re blind?

'Cause if the water dries up

And the moon stops shining

Stars fall, and the world goes blind

Boy, you know I'll be savin' my love for you, for you
