 Verse:

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

 I made up the bed we sleep in

 I looked at the clock when you creep in

 It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

 Chorus:
 D5       B5      G5
 Did you know, when you go
 A5
 It's the perfect ending
 D5       B5      G5       A5
 To the bad day I was just beginning
 D5       B5      G5
 When you go all i know is
 A5       C5 G5 (Riff)
 You're my favourite mistake

 Verse:

 Well, your friends feel sorry for me

 They watch you pretend to adore me

 But I'm no fool to this game

 Now here comes your secert lover

 She'd be unlike any other

 Until your guilt burns up in flames

 Chorus:

 Did you know when you go

 it's the perfect ending

 To the bad day I've gotten used to spending When you go all I know is

 You're my favourite mistake
 C5 G5
 You're my favourite mistake

 Bridge:
 B5      Bb5
 Well, maybe nothin' lasts forever
 F5       G5
 Even when you stay together
 B5      Bb5
 I don't need forever after
 F5       G5
 It's your laughter won't let me go

 So I'm holding on this way


 D5 B5 G5 A5 x3

 C5 G5 C5 G5

 D5       B5
 Did you know? could you tell?
 G5       A5
 You were the only one
 D5       B5      G5 A5
 That I ever loved
 D5       B5      G5 A5     C5 G5
 Now everything's so wrong


 D5       B5      G5       A5
 Did you see me walking by?
 D5       B5 G5    A5 C5 G5
 Did it ever make you cry?


 C5 G5
 You're my favourite mistake
 C5 G5
 You're my favourite mistake
 C5 G5
 You're my favourite mistake

 End with: 
 B5
