[Fm] I'm afraid to ask.

[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] But to love you, you burn [Bb] [Cm] this way.
[Ab] To love [Fm] you, boy, [Ab] love [Fm] you, boy.
[Ab] First I had [Bm] you in the palm of [Cm] my hand.
But I let you [Ab] slip through like grains of sand
in the beginning.
[Bm] When I didn't [Cm] care, like my own actions,
you [Fm] were always [Bb] there.
[Cm] I'm afraid to [Ab] ask.
To love [Fm] you, girl, love you, [Bb] girl.
My [Cm] mistake.
[Ab] To love [Fm] you, boy, [Ab] love you, boy.
You were [Dm] sweeter than my very own [Cm] care.
But what did I do [Ab] for you?
Not a thing.
In front of my [Dm] friends, you broke [Cm] me down.
Since then, darling, it's hard [Fm] to track you [Bb] down.
My [Cm] mistake [Ab] was to love you, boy, love you, boy.
[Bb] My [Cm] mistake [Ab] was to give my all to tell the [Bb] world.
[Cm]
[Ab] Oh, yeah.
[Bb] [Cm]
Oh, [Ab] my mistake.
Many a [Dm] smile you put [G] on my [Cm] face.
But I paid [Ab] dearly with tears I faced.
My tenderness [G] made you cold, not [Cm] sweet.
Because if a girl loves you, you only [Fm] call her weak.
[Bb] My [Cm] mistake [Ab] was to love you, boy, love you, boy.
Love you, girl.
[Bb] My [Cm] mistake [Ab] was to give my all to tell the world.
[Bb] My [Cm] mistake was [Ab] to love you, girl, love you, girl.
Love [Bb] you, boy.
My, my [Cm] mistake was [Ab] to give my all to tell the world.
[Bb] My, my [Cm]
[Ab] mistake.
