All The Mistakes That He Made About The Girl
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:1st fret
[Intro]
G B7 Em
B7 C G
[Verse 1]
G B7 Em
All the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
Don't bother him as much as everybody thinks
G B7 Em
All the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
Are different from the mistakes he makes when he drinks
G B7 Em
And I'd bet you'd like to think he's got so many regrets
B7 C G
But the way he sees it, he did nothing wrong
G B7 Em
Nah, a man has many loves, a man moves on, a man forgets
B7 C G
And if there's anything else to say then I guess he writes a song
G B7 Em
B7 C G
[Verse 2]
G B7 Em
Okay, so all the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
According to her were unforgivable
G B7 Em
But the anger and the objects he would hurl
B7 C G
Were not the things that made life unlivable
[Chorus]
C A7 D
No, the absolute number one thing
C A7 D
Was she'd melt every time that he'd sing
C B D7 Em
And she'd tell him she loved him and he would just play
C B D7 Em
'Cause if he wasn't singing he just couldn't say
C B D7 B7 Em
And she couldn't handle that he was that way
B7 C
I guess those are the breaks
G B7 Em B7 C G
I guess there were mistakes
[Verse 3]
G B7 Em
All the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
Weren't all that bad when compared to other men
G B7 Em
All the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
He understands when he picks up his pen
G B7 Em
So what if he had a little trouble letting down his guard
B7 C G
It wasn't his fault she was so quick to feel
G B7 Em
And maybe he'd been hurt, maybe he'd been scarred
B7 C G
Or maybe he was just afraid of what was getting real
[Chorus]
C A7 D
And the absolute number one thing
C A7 D
Was she'd melt every time that he'd sing
C B D7 Em
And she'd tell him stop hiding behind what you play
C B D7 Em
She'd ask "what are you scared of" but he wouldn't say
C B D7 B7 Em
He just banged and yelled "louder" 'till she went away, hey, hey
B7 C
I guess that's all that it takes
G
And yes there were mistakes
[Bridge]
B7 Em F C
But it doesn't matter anymore
C G
Because she's not coming back
D7 G
No, she's not coming back
B7 Em F C
And it doesn't matter anymore
C G
All he can hope to do
D7 G
Is use the experience to
C D
Try to understand why what he did left the girl brokenhearted
C D
But instead he'll just use it as fuel to keep writing his song
G B7 Em B7 C G
Before long he'll be back where he started
[Verse 4]
G B7 Em
All the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
He finds himself thinking about a lot these days
G B7 Em
All the mistakes that he made about the girl
B7 C G
Keep fucking with his life in such surprising ways
G B7 Em
And he likes to think that if he had to do it again
B7 C G
He could fix the things that he did all wrong
G B7 Em
And he's not the same as he was back then
B7 C G
And then he goes back to his stupid song
[Chorus]
C A7 D
But the one thing that's totally clear
C A7 D
Is he wishes that she was still here
C B D7 Em
And he tries to be different, he's still out of touch
C B D7 Em
And his current relationships prove just as much
C B D7 B7 Em
And his songs and his words, they still serve as his crutch
B7 C
And even those are a lie
G
'Cause he don't use the word "I"
C D7
Nah, this man hides behind "he"
G B7 Em B7 C G
Well, that's what I would do if it were me
G B7 Em B7 C G
But it's obviously not
G B7 Em B7 C G
And that's all that I got
[Outro]
G B7 Em B7 C G
