[Intro] C  Bb  Am  F
        Am  C  F

      F                         C                           
When love comes so late, it'll really hit hard
    Bb                            F 
It slams through the gate, it'll catch you off guard
                        C
Everyone said, "What a perfect love match
        Bb                       F        
'Cause she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch"
        Am               Bb
I was drinking in love, gulping it down
                          C
Drifting for months on a billowing cloud
    Am              Bb
But after awhile I stopped to rebel
                              C   
I'm back in the past and I'm raising up hell
       Bb                                           F
But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
       Bb                                           F
And I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
                              C
We'd been living together for over a year
     Bb                    F
The harmony's perfect, it rang loud and clear
                          C
But then very slowly, my nerves start to fray
     Bb                  F
The little things big, that's what they say
  Am                 Bb
I acted impatient, I acted unkind
                            C
I took her for granted, I played with her mind
     Am                   Bb
She didn't deserve it but it was too late
                                C
I walked out the door and left her to her fate
        Bb                                          F
But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
        Bb                                          F
And I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life

        Am  C  F

         F                       C
Now I'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone
   Bb                        F
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
                       C
I never go out, I'm becoming a grouch
        Bb                  F
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch
        Am                        Bb
But if love comes again, I'll be really surprised
                                 C
I'll grab it real fast, keep it right in my sights
           Bb                                          F
'Cause I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
         Bb                                          F
Well I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
         Bb                                          F
Well I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life
