D Em F G Made the fatal mistake, Like I did once before, A tendency just to take, Till the purpose turned sour, Chorus: D Strain, take the strain, Am These days, we love, D Strain, take the strain, Am These days, we love. Yeah, the only mistake Was that you ran away Avenues lined with trees Strangled words for the day Yeah, the only mistake Like I made once before Yeah, the only mistake Could have made it before Chorus: Strain, take the strain These days we love Strain, take the strain These days we love And the only mistake Led to rumors unfound Led to pressures unknown Different feelings and sounds Yeah, the only mistake Like I made once before Yeah, the only mistake Could have made it before You can simplify chords by removing barre
