[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


[Chorus]
       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

[Verse 2]
D               G            D          G
I had lost my aim playing a young man’s game
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


[Chorus]
       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


[Bridge]
Bm
Sweetness
                        D
I never felt this kinda heat this
                          Em
Is either real or this is weakness
                         A
Don’t wanna listen to my head
Bm            D
Oh sweetness
Em A
Oh listen to my head


[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


[Chorus]
   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
