Chorus:
    B           D#m
I fucked up, I made a mistake
 E                            B
Nobody does it better than myself
     B          D#m
I'm sorry, I'm not afraid to say
   E                                B
I wish I could take you back but I can't

B            D#m
I'm so ashamed, You're in so much pain
    E                                  B
I blamed you when things didn't go my way
B
If I didn't, you'd be here
D#m
If I didn't fight back I'd have no fear
      E
If I took another path, things would
            B
be so different,
but they're not

I coulda just kept my big mouth closed
I coulda just done what I was told
Maybe I should've turned silver into gold
But in front of you I was cold

Chorus

I thought we had it all
You brought out the best in me
And somehow I destroyed the perfect dream
I thought we were indestructible
I never imagined we could fall
You wanna know how to make God laugh?
Tell Him your plans

           B
We coulda bought a house with a swimming pool
        D#m
Fill it up with Warhols, it would be so cool
        E
Coulda gone buyin' estates in the countryside
        B
With a pack of great things, kissing eye to eye

We coulda toured the world in a private jet
Gotten naked on the beach, all soaking wet
We coulda climbed the mountains, seen the perfect sunrise
Written our names across the sky

We coulda gotten drunk and driven on the Autobahn
We coulda got ourselves arrested in St. Germain
We coulda lived life crazy 'til the day we died
Instead I made you cry

Chorus:
I fucked up, I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry, je suis désolée
I wish I could take it back, but I can't

I fucked up, I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry, I'm not ashamed to say
I wish I could have you back, maybe one day
Or not
