Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A
[Verse 1]
DShe was hanging Ground in her Dsmall town Gcrown
AWith the king of Gshit mountain, the prom Aking Gclown
DTrying to keep his Ggrip clutching to Dher Ghip
AWe locked eyes in that dive and the king got clipped
[Chorus]
It was Dmy Gmistake
I Dwas Gasleep but now I’m Awide Gawake, Awide Gawake
DMy Gmistake, Dturned Gme around
It took the Atime it Gtakes
AI was Gasleep and it was my mistake
[Instrumental]
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D A
[Verse 2]
DI had lost my aiGm playing a yDoung man’s Ggame
AAlways loving something Gdifferent till it’s Aall the Gsame
DStumbling aGlong stiff Ddrinks and Gsongs
AI’d gotten pretty good at getting gone
[Chorus]
It was Dmy Gmistake
I Dwas Gasleep but now I’m Awide Gawake, Awide Gawake
DMy Gmistake, Dturned Gme around
It took the Atime it Gtakes
AI was Gasleep and it was my mistake
[Bridge]
BmSweetness
I never felt this kinda Dheat this
Is either real or this is Emweakness
Don’t wanna listen to my Ahead
BmOh sweetnessD  
EmOh Alisten to my head
[Verse 3]
We Dspent Ga thousand nights under the Dneon Glights
Just Afeeding our Gdestructive little AappeGtites
DTime went Gby and I decided Dnot to fGight
EmShe dared me to clean up and maybe I just might
GGonna swear off my Aabandon and clear my sights
[Chorus]
Oh Dmy GmistakeD  G  A  G  A  G
