[Verse 1] 0’44”
DEFG
Made the fatal mistake,
DEFG
Like I did once before,
DEFG
A tendency just to take,
DEFG
Till the purpose turned sour,
(Break)
[Chorus] 1’11”
D
Strain, take the strain,
A
These days, we love,
D
Strain, take the strain,
A
These days, we love.
(riff bass) x2
[Verse 2] 1’44”
DEFG
Yeah, the only mistake,
DEFG
Was that you ran away,
DEFG
Avenues lined with trees,
DEFG
Strangled words for the day,
[Verse 3] 2’06”
D5E5F5G5
Yeah, the only mistake,
D5E5F5G5
Like I made once before,
D5E5F5G5
Yeah, the only mistake,
D5E5F5G5
Could have made it before.
(break)
[Chorus] 2’36”
D
Strain, take the strain,
A
These days, we love,
D
Strain, take the strain,
A
These days, we love.

[Verse 4] 3’09”
DEFG
And the only mistake,
DEFG
Led to rumors unfounded,
DEFG
Led to pressures unknown,
DEFG
Different feelings and sounds,
DEFG
Yeah the only mistake,
DEFG
Like I made once before,
D5E5F5G5
Yeah, the only mistake,
D5E5F5G5
Could have made it before.
