It’s a Mistake
Men at Work
Intro:
G#m      B      G#m      B
G#m                            B
    Jump down the shelters to get away
G#m                            B
    The boys are cockin' up their guns
G#m                              B
    Tell us general - is it party time?
G#m                     B
    If it is can we all come
E                       F#
Don't think that we don't know
E                         F#
Don't think that we're not trying
E                       F#
Don't think we move too slow 
E                      F#
It's no use after crying
                     G#m      B/F#
Saying -- It's a mistake
           G#m/D#      B/C#
It's a mistake
           G#m         B/F#
It's a mistake
           G#m/D#      B/C#
It's a mistake
G#m                            B
      After the laughter as died away
G#m                            B
   And all the boys have had their fun
G#m                                  B
     No surface noise now, not much to say
G#m                                B
   They've got the bad guys on the run
E                      F#
Don't try to say you're sorry
E                   F#
Don't say he drew his gun
E                          F#
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
E                F#
He's not the only one --
                     G#m      B/F#
Saying -- It's a mistake
           G#m/D#      B/C#
It's a mistake
           G#m         B/F#
It's a mistake
           G#m/D#      B/C#
It's a mistake
G#m                                  B
      Tell us commander, what do you think?
G#m                                  B
  Cause we know that you love all that power
G#m                               B
     Is it on then, are we on the brink?
G#m                              B
  We wish you'd all throw in the towel
E                      F#
We'll not fade out too soon
E                  F#
Not in this finest hour
E                    F#
Whistle your favorite tune
E                     F#
We'll send a card and flower
                     G#m      B/F#
Saying -- It's a mistake
           G#m/D#      B/C#
It's a mistake
           G#m         B/F#
It's a mistake
           G#m/D#      B/C#
It's a mistake
B          A#         A          G#m
    It's a mistake ------ it's a mistake
B          A#         A          G#m
    It's a mistake ------ it's a mistake
B          A#         A          G#m
    It's a mistake ------ it's a mistake
It's a mistake
