   * (The song begins with lick #1 repeating itself a few times) *



    A              Bm
     I woke up and called this morning
    A                 Bm
     The tone of your voice was a warning
    C               G7             Bm (Lick #1)
     That you don't care for me anymore


    A              Bm
     I made up the bed we sleep in
    A                Bm
     I looked at the clock when you creep in
    C         G7          Bm (Lick #1)
     It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone


    D        G             E
     Did you know when you go
              C           D
     It's the perfect ending
            G   G/F#   E  (Lick #2)
     To the bad day       I was just beginning
    D         G        E
     When you go all I know is
               C           G     C
     You're my favorite mistake


    Bm (Lick #1)  } x 2

    A                       Bm
     Well, your friends are sorry for me
    A                  Bm
     They watch you pretend to adore me
    C           G7           Bm (Lick #1)
     But I'm no fool to this game


    A                    Bm
     Now here comes your secret lover
    A                Bm
     She'd be unlike any other
    C           G7               Bm (Lick #1)
     Until your guilt goes up in flames


    D        G             E
     Did you know when you go
              C           D
     It's the perfect ending
            G   G/F#   E  (Lick #2)
     To the bad day       I've gotten used to spending
         D         G        E
     When you go all I know is
               C           G     C
     You're my favorite mistake


          Bm            A#
     Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
     F             G7
     Even when you stay together
    Bm               A#
     I don't need forever after
     F                  G7
     It's your laughter won't let me go
                            D         G         E        C
     So I'm holding on this way
                            D         G   G/F#  E (Lick 2)

                            D         G         E        C

                            G         C

     D             G
     Did you know, could you tell
     E            C
     You were the only one
    D       G   G/F#  E (Lick #2)
     That I e---ver   loved
         D    G          E      C     G     C
     Now everything's so wrong
     D       G      E       C
     Did you see me walking by?
     D      G   G/F#  E (Lick #2)     G
     Did it e---ver   make you cry?


    C                      G
     You're my favorite mistake
    C                      G
     You're my favorite mistake
    C                      G
     You're my favorite mistake
