[Intro]
Eb Ab Eb Bb7
[Verse 1]
Eb
Out in the street
Cm
Late all night long
Ab Bb7
While the one that loved me
Eb Bb7 Bb7sus4
Man, she was sitting at home
Eb
Oh, I've been worried
G7
I was a fool
Ab Db9
Playing the fields and running around heavy, foreign, man
D Eb Ab Eb Bb7 Bb7sus4
I know everybody make a mistake sometimes
[Verse 2]
Eb
But when I got home, oh
Cm N.C.
My baby, she was gone
Bb Ab Bb7
And I found a letter, now
Eb Bb7
Right there on the kitchen floor, it read:
Eb
"I tried to wait
G7
For you to come, honey
Ab Db9
But, like a fool you were running around, doing me wrong"
D Eb
I'm sorry, I know, baby
Ab Eb
Everybody makes a mistake sometimes
Bb7 Bb7sus4
I know I make one
[Verse 3]
Eb
And oh, so if you are running around
Cm
With somebody else
Ab Bb7
Try to satisfy
Ab Bb7
Man, you can't satisfy your selfish self
Eb
So uh, man, you gotta take heed
G7
Listen to every word I'm saying
Ab Db9
'Cause that same thing, man, might happen to you one day
D Eb
And you know that everybody
Ab Eb Ab7
Man, I know that everybody make mistakes sometimes

I know, because I've made mine

I made a great big one

Man, I made my, I made a great big one

I can't do it no more

No, I'm never gonna do it

I want you to come back to me, baby
Ab7
And help me if you would, baby
Eb
I love you, darling
Ab7
I love you, baby
Eb
Honey, I just won't stay out in the street all night
Ab7
I won't stay out in the street, baby
Eb
I'll just sit home with you, darling
Ab7
And hold your trembling hand
Eb
So just come back to me, baby
