[Intro]
Am C G

[Verse 1]
   D              Em
If you would just make
    C        G
one mistake
         D               C
What a relief that would be
    D               Em
But I think for as long
             C
as we're together
     G        D          C
I'll be the only heartbreaker

   D            Em        C
So I'll be the loser in this game
  G          D          C
I'll be the bad guy in the play
      D             Em
I'll be the water main
            C
that's burst and flooding
           G
You'll be by the window,
D            C
only watching
Am G D
