[Verse 1]
        E               Abm
I ain't got no claim to nothin'
A                    E
   I don't mess with anyone
E                 A                    B    B  B/C#  B/D
   I walk my way,   living in a masquerade
     E                  Abm
And one day I looked behind me
A                    E
   At all the things I've done
A                     B      E         Esus4  E  Esus4
   That's the 1st mistake, I ever made
 
[Verse 2]
      E                Abm
I was born to a lonely women
A                      E
In a town called Buffalo
E                 A               B       Bsus4  B  Bsus4
   Never knew the man, that never stayed
        E               Abm
With my 12-string on my back
A                  E
I discovered every track
A                    B       E         Esus4  E
   That's the 1st mistake, I ever made
 
[Verse 3]
         E                   Abm
With the million hearts I've broken
A                   E     Esus4
   I never kept the score
E              A                 B     Bsus4  B
   Memories of good love, had to fade
      E              Abm
But I still remember someone
A                  E
   Who loved me so much more
A                    B       E          Esus4  E  Esus4
   That's the 1st mistake, I ever made
 
[Verse 4]
        E                    Abm
So when life ain't worth the livin'
A                 E
   In the night I look above
E              A             B         Bsus4  B
Prayed about a million times, I prayed
  E             Abm
I know my story ended
A                 E
   When I lost my only love
A                     B      E         Esus4  E  Esus4
   That's the 1st mistake, I ever made
