Lyrics

I woke up and called this morn ing;

the tone of your voice was a warn ing

that you don’t care for me an y more.

I made up the bed we sleep in;

I looked at the clock when you creep in.

It’s six A.

M.

and I’m a lone.

Did you (G)know when you (Em7)go it’s the (C)per fect end ing to the (G)bad day

I was just be gin ning.

When you (G)go, all I (Em7)know is you’re my (C)fa v’rite mis take.

Well, your friends act sor ry for me;

they watch you pre tend to a dore me.

But I’m no fool for me to this game

Now here comes your se cret lov er;

she’ll be un like an y you oth er

un til your guilt goes up in flames.

Did you (G)know when you (Em7)go it’s the (C)per fect end ing to the (G)bad day

I was just be gin ning.

When you (G)go, all I (Em7)know is you’re my (C)fa v’rite mis take.

(C)You’re my fa v’rite mis take.

Well, (Bm)may be noth ing lasts for ev er, e ven when you stay to geth er.

I don’t need for ev er af ter, but (F)it’s your laugh ter, won’t let me go; so I’m hold ing on this way.

(D)Did you know, (G)could you see (Em7)you were the on ly one

that I (G)ev er loved?

Now (D)ev ’ry thing’s so wrong.

(D)Did you see me walk ing by?

(D)Did it ev er make you cry?

Now you’re my (C)fa ’vrite mis take.

Yeah, you’re my fa v’rite mis take.

You’re my fa v’rite mis take.
