1. When love comes so late, it really hits hard,
D D7
it
slams through the gate, it'll catch you off guard.
D A
Everyone said, "What a
perfect love match,
D D7
'cause she is so smart, she's
a hell of a catch."
Bm G
I was drinking in love,
gulping it down,
G A
drifting
for months on a billowing cloud.
Bm G
But after a while I stopped to
rebel,
G A
I'm back in the past and I'm raising up hell.
G Em A D
But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life,
G Em A
D
and I think I've just made the
biggest mistake of my life.
D A
2. We'd been living together for over a year,
D D7
the
harmony's perfect, it rang loud and clear.
D A
But then very slowly, my
nerves start to fray,
D D7
the
little thing’s big, that's what they say.
Bm G
I acted impatient, I acted
unkind,
G A
I took her for granted, I
played with her mind.
Bm G
She didn't deserve it, but it
was too late,
G A
I walked out the door and left her to her fate.
G Em A D
But I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life,
G
Em
A D
and I think I've just made the
biggest mistake of my life.

3. Now I'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone,
D D7
I ruined the day with some
friends on the phone.
D A
I never go out, I'm becoming a
grouch
D D7
I just watch the TV and I
drink on the couch
Bm G
But if love comes again, I'll
be really surprised,
G A
I'll grab it real fast, keep it right in my sights.
G
Em
A D
‘Cause I think I've just made the biggest mistake of my life,
G
Em
A D
well, I think I've just made the
biggest mistake of my life.
G Em A D
well, I think I've just made the
biggest mistake of my life.
