    A5              B5
     I woke up and called this morning
    A5                 B5
     The tone of your voice was a warning
    C5               G5             B5 (Lick #1)
     That you don't care for me anymore


    A5              B5
     I made up the bed we sleep in
    A5                B5
     I looked at the clock when you creep in
    C5         G5          B5 (Lick #1)
     It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone


    D5        G5             E5
     Did you know when you go
              C5           D5
     It's the perfect ending
            G5   G5   E5  (Lick #2)
     To the bad day       I was just beginning
    D5         G5        E5
     When you go all I know is
               C5           G5     C5
     You're my favorite mistake


    B5 (Lick #1)  } x 2

    A5                       B5
     Well, your friends are sorry for me
    A5                  B5
     They watch you pretend to adore me
    C5           G5           B5 (Lick #1)
     But I'm no fool to this game


    A5                    B5
     Now here comes your secret lover
    A5                B5
     She'd be unlike any other
    C5           G5               B5 (Lick #1)
     Until your guilt goes up in flames


    D5        G5             E5
     Did you know when you go
              C5           D5
     It's the perfect ending
            G5   G5   E5  (Lick #2)
     To the bad day       I've gotten used to spending
         D5         G5        E5
     When you go all I know is
               C5           G5     C5
     You're my favorite mistake


          B5            A#5
     Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
     F5             G5
     Even when you stay together
    B5               A#5
     I don't need forever after
     F5                  G5
     It's your laughter won't let me go
                            D5         G5         E5        C5
     So I'm holding on this way
                            D5         G5   G5  E5 (Lick 2)

                            D5         G5         E5        C5

                            G5         C5

     D5             G5
     Did you know, could you tell
     E5            C5
     You were the only one
    D5       G5   G5  E5 (Lick #2)
     That I e---ver   loved
         D5    G5          E5      C5     G5     C5
     Now everything's so wrong
     D5       G5      E5       C5
     Did you see me walking by?
     D5      G5   G5  E5 (Lick #2)     G5
     Did it e---ver   make you cry?


    C5                      G5
     You're my favorite mistake
    C5                      G5
     You're my favorite mistake
    C5                      G5
     You're my favorite mistake
