VERSE 1:
E EM7
I'm in love
E7 E7sus6
I've never been so sure of anything
A AM7
But then again
F#m B
It could be a tumor in my brain
E EM7
Tricking me
E7 E7sus6
Into thinking that we were meant to be
A AM7
But either way
F#m B
I'm about to shock my family
C#m B4 E A2
And my hometown again
C#m B4 D2
But this time I'm leaving
CHORUS:
E/G# A2 C#m B4
Once I'm gone I cannot look back
E/G# A2 C#m B4
I've got to trust that this is right
E/G# A2 C#m B4
'Cause maybe I'm on my way to find you
F#m E/G# A B E (2nd time to BRIDGE)
But maybe I'm gonna make the mistake of my life
VERSE 2:
Since we met
My life's been so up in the air
Here today
But by next week I could be there
On the street
Struggling to support my newest vice
With a sign
That says I will work for love advice
'Cause I will mow your lawn
If you'll tell me what I'm doing wrong
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE: |A . |Am . |
|E EM7|C#m . |
|A2 . |Am . |
B4 Cb5
I'll leave the car running
C#m F# (A2)
And I'll leave half the boxes packed
A2 (Am)
For the slim chance
Am
I'll go right back
FINAL CHORUS:
E/G# A2 C#m B4
Once I'm gone I cannot look back
E/G# A2 C#m B4
I've got to trust that this is right
E/G# A2 C#m B4
'Cause maybe I'm on my way to find you
F#m E/G# A B
But maybe I'm gonna make the mistake
F#m E/G# A B
Maybe I'm gonna make the mistake
F#m E/G# A B
Maybe I'm gonna make the mistake
A Am E
Of my life
