[Intro] A Bm7 F#m7 D [Verse 1]
A                 Bm7          F#m7       D
I've thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life

A              Bm7        F#m7             D
Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right

D                   E                D               C#m7
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here

F                  G                       F
All the fights and late night conversations

F              E
All the wasted tears
[Chorus]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes

           A          D          Bm     E
I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake

      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day

              D       Bm         E    A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made

     D       Bm         E    A
(The best mistakes I've ever made)
[Verse 2]
A             Bm7               F#m7             D
I've tried to throw the past out I've tried to shed my skin

A                Bm7          F#m7                D
But the days go by so fast now I kind of like remembering

D              E                     D               C#m7
The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own

F                  G                  F
The new sound, the overnight sensation

F                     E7
Flying so high that I couldn't let go
[Chorus]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes

           A          D          Bm     E
I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake

      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day

              D       Bm         E    A    D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made

              D       Bm         E    A    D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
[Bridge]
F#m          D        A       E
I did my time on the merry-go-round

Em              Bm     Bm/A    Bm/G# Bm/G F#m
And if I had to choose between then  and  now

F#m         A  Bm7 F#m7 D x2
I'd choose now

D                   E                D               C#m7
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here

F                  G                       F
All the fights and late night conversations

F              G
All the wasted tears
[Chorus]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes

           A          D          Bm     E
I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake

      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day

              D       Bm         E    A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
[Outro]
E           A       D          Bm    E
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes

            A       D          Bm           E
I've been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake

      A        D     Bm     E
And I don't regret a single day

              D       Bm         E    A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made

     D       Bm         E    A
(The best mistakes I've ever made)

              D       Bm         E    A    D Bm E A
They were the best mistakes I've ever made
