A7       D       D9  D  D7/9 
Looking back over my life 
D7     G       Gdim            D 
I can see where I caused you strife 
A7     D       D9  D  G   G/F# 
But I know, oh yes I know 
    E7             Bm5-/7    E7    A7 
I'd never make that same mistake again 
A7       D       D9  D  D7/9 
Looking back over my deeds 
D7         G      Gdim       D 
I can see signs a wise man heeds 
A7     D       D9  D    G   G/F# 
And if I just had the chance 
    E7               A7            D        D7 
I'd never make that same mistake again 

Bridge 
G                     D 
Once my cup was overflowing, 
    A7     Gdim    A7    D    D7M D7 D7/9 
But I gave nothing in return 
G     Em7             D      B7 
Now I can't begin to tell you 
        E7   Cdim E7   A7 
What a lesson I  have learned 
A7       D        D9  D  D7/9 
Looking back over the slate 
D7         G   Gdim       D 
I can see love turned to hate 
A7     D       D9  D  G   G/F# 
But I know, oh yes I know 
          E7                    A7                 D 
I'd never make that same mistake again
