      A#
So I never really knew you
D7
God I really tried to
D#             D#m
Blindsided, addicted
   A#
Thought we could really do this
D7
But really I was foolish
D#               D#m
Hindsight it's obvious

Cm
Talking with my lawyer
She said where’d you find this guy
              F
I said young people fall in love
With the wrong people sometimes

Chorus:
A#
Some mistakes get made
       D7
That's alright, that's okay
         D#
You can think that you’re in love
                            D#m
When you're really just in pain
A#
Some mistakes get made
       D7
That's alright, that's okay
       D#
In the end it's better for me
                         D#m
That's the moral of the story babe

It's funny how a memory
Turns into a bad dream
When running wild turns volatile
Remember how we painted our house
Just like my grandparents did
So romantic, but we fought the whole time
Should've seen the signs, yeah

Talking with my mother
She said, "Where’d you find this guy?"
Said, "Some people fall in love
With the wrong people sometimes"

Chorus

              A#
They say it's better to have loved and lost
     Cm                  F
Than never to have loved at all
A#                       D/F#
That could be a load of shit
    Gm              F       Gm/E
But I just need to tell you all

Chorus:
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just engaged
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end, it's better for me
That's the moral of the story
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end, it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe
