[Chorus]
Could it be that mDaybe it’s our fEirst mistake
And BAaby that’s alF#mright
It’s cDrazy how we lEost ourselves tF#monight
There’s a rAeason why they Dsay that we should gEive it time
But tAime is not enF#mough
And thDat’s the rEeason whDy
                            E(Intro)
When you’re young you fall in love
[Verse 2]
F#mStanding still
I’m wBaiting round to Esee if this is F#mreal
Cause I Afeel like I’m asBleep
I’ll oApen up my eByes
Cause you C#mmight be the type
Of gDirl that makes me dream when IE’m awake
[Chorus]
Could it be that mDaybe it’s our fEirst mistake
And BAaby that’s alF#mright
It’s cDrazy how we lEost ourselves tF#monight
There’s a rAeason why they Dsay that we should gEive it time
But tAime is not enF#mough
And thDat’s the rEeason whDy
When youE’re young you fall in love

DOr will we end up getting F#mhurt
Is this lAove or F#mmyth
DSo tell me are you in for Dthis
DThere’s so much than we can F#msee
More than Ayou
More than F#mme
It takes tAwo to beElieve
[Chorus]
DMaybe it’s our Efirst mistake

Yesterday

B E F#m

I waited for your friends to walk away

So I could say just what I mean

A B

I know we’re moving fast

C#m

We’re running from the past

D E

I’m holding on before it fades away

[Chorus]

D E

Could it be that maybe it’s our first mistake

A F#m

And Baby that’s alright

D E F#m

It’s crazy how we lost ourselves tonight

A D E

There’s a reason why they say that we should give it time

A F#m

But time is not enough

D E D

And that’s the reason why

(Intro)

When you’re young you fall in love

[Verse 2]

F#m

Standing still

B E F#m

I’m waiting round to see if this is real

Cause I feel like I’m asleep

I’ll open up my eyes

Of girl that makes me dream when I’m awake

[Chorus]

Could it be that maybe it’s our first mistake

D D

So tell me can this really work

D F#m

Or will we end up getting hurt

A F#m

Is this love or myth

D D

So tell me are you in for this

D F#m

There’s so much than we can see

More than you

F#m

More than me

A E

It takes two to believe

[Chorus]

D E

Maybe it’s our first mistake

A F#m

And Baby that’s alright

It’s crazy how we lost ourselves tonight
