[Verse 1]
B E G#m
I ain't got no claim to nothing
A E
I don't mess with anyone
E A B
I walk my way living in a masquerade
E G#m
And one day I looked behind me
A E
At all the things I've done
A B E
That's the 1st mistake I ever made
[Chorus]
B E G#m
I was born to a lonely women
A E
In a town called Buffalo
E A B
Never knew the man that never stayed
E G#m
With my 12-string on my back
A E
I discovered every track
A B E
That's the 1st mistake I ever made
[Verse 2]
B E G#m
With a million hearts I've broken
A E
I never kept the score
E A B
Memories of good love hate today
E G#m
But I still remember someone
A E
who loved me so much more
A B E
That's the 1st mistake I ever made
[Verse 3]
B E G#m
So, when life ain't worth the living
A E
And in the night I look above
E A B
Prayed, about a million times I prayed
E G#m
I know my story ended
A E
when I lost my only love
A B E
That's the 1st mistake I ever made
[Chorus]
B E G#m
I was born to a lonely women
A E
In a town called Buffalo
E A B
Never knew the man who never stayed
E G#m
With my 12-string on my back
A E
I discovered every track
A B E
That's the 1st mistake I ever made
