verse 1 
D               G            D          G 
She was hanging round in her small town crown 
A                G                       A    G 
With the king of shit mountain, the prom king clown 
D                  G                 D   G 
Trying to keep his grip clutching to her hip 
A                
We locked eyes in that dive and the king got clipped 

 
       D  G 
It was my mistake 
  D   G                  A    G      A    G 
I was asleep but now I’m wide awake, wide awake 
D  G        D      G 
My mistake, turned me around 
            A       G 
It took the time it takes 
A    G 
I was asleep and it was my mistake

A                       G                   A       G 
Always loving something different till it’s all the same 
D          G          D          G 
Stumbling along stiff drinks and songs 
A                 
I’d gotten pretty good at getting gone

Sweetness 
                        D 
I never felt this kinda heat this 
                          Em 
Is either real or this is weakness

Don’t wanna listen to my head 
Bm            D 
Oh sweetness

verse 3 
   D     G                           D    G 
We spent a thousand nights under the neon lights 
     A           G                  A   G 
Just feeding our destructive little appetites 
D         G                D       G 
Time went by and I decided not to fight 
Em 
She dared me to clean up and maybe I just might 
G                  A 
Gonna swear off my abandon and clear my sights 

 
   D  G       D G A G A G 
Oh my mistake 
   D  G 
Oh my mistake 
  D   G                  A    G      A    G 
I was asleep but now I’m wide awake, wide awake 
D  G        D      G 
My mistake, turned me around 
            A       G 
It took the time it takes 
A    G 
I was asleep and it was my mistake
