Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Ohh[Am],[Dm]
[G]baby
[Am]Ohh, [Dm]baby

[Verse 2]
[G]My mis[Am]take was to [F]love you, girl
Love you, girl
[G]My mis[Am]take was to [F]give my [Dm]all
[F]Tell the world

[Verse 3]
First I had [Bdim]you
In the [G#dim]palm of my hand[Am]
But I let you slip through
[F]Like grains of sand
At the beginning
[Bdim]When I d[G#dim]idn't care
[Am]Like my own reflection
[F]You were [E]always [Dm]there

[Verse 4]
[G]My mis[Am]take was to [F]love you, [Dm]girl
[Bb]To love [F]you, girl
[G]My mis[Am]take, baby, was to [F]give my [Dm]all
[F]Tell the world

[Verse 5]
You were [Bdim]sweeter
Than my very [E]own kin
[Am]But what did I do for you?[F]
Not a thing
In front of my friends
[Bdim]You broke me[E] down
[Am]Since then, darling
It's [F]hard to track [Dm]you down

[Verse 6]
[G]My mis[Am]take was to [F]love you, boy
Love you, boy
[G]My mis[Am]take was to [F]give my [Dm]all
[F]Tell the world
[G][Am]

[Verse 7]
[F][Dm]
[F]Yeah, [G]bab[Am]y
[F]Ohh, [Dm]my mistake,[F] yeah

[Verse 8]
Many a smile [Bdim]You
put on [E]my face
[Am]But I paid dearly
With [F]the tears I taste

[Verse 9]
My tenderness [Bdim]Made
you [E]cold, not sweet
[Am]'Cause if a girl loves you
You [F]only call her [Dm]weak

[Verse 10]
[G]My mis[Am]take was to [F]love you, boy
Love you, boy (oh, love you, [G]girl)
My mis[Am]take was to [F]give my [Dm]all
[F]Tell the [G]world

[Verse 11]
My (my, my) mis[Am]take
Was [F]to love you, [Dm]girl (love you, [F]boy)
Love you, girl (love you, [G]boy)
My (my, my) mis[Am]take, baby
Was to [F]give my [Dm]all
[F]Tell the world

[Verse 12]
[G]My (my, my) mis[Am]take
Was to love you, girl (love you, boy)
Love you, girl (love you, boy)
My (my)
