G D Em C

[Verse 1]
G                        D
I was young and single glad that i was free
   Em                            C
had my whole life ahead there was nothin stoppin me
G                   D
headed out to vegas me and all my friends
      Em                            C
just a bunch of clowns runnin round in a town of sin
Am           C/B     C          
ten shots later and one double dare
Am                C/B            C          D
met a girl and said i do in some chapel out there

[Chorus]
        G                                   Em
That was the best mistake ive ever made the lord works in mysterious ways
C                                           D
i chose the wrong path all my life but for once i did somethin right
           G                        Em
and just one look at her and i see someone smiling down on me
C          C/B          Am   C/B C               D               G    D           
and im not too proud to say that was the best mistake ive ever made

[Verse 2]
G                                D
Tryin to start a family was the last thing we had planned
 Em                        C
Till i came home from work she had her head in her hands
G                                  D
i could see the worry through the tear drops in her eyes
          Em                              C
she said how we gonna do this when we're barely gettin by
Am           C/B                   C                    
we weren't prepared for all those changes in our world
Am         C/B                   C          D
that all changed when the doctor said its a girl

[Chorus]
        G                                   Em
That was the best mistake ive ever made the lord works in mysterious ways
C                                           D
i chose the wrong path all my life but for once i did somethin right
           G                        Em
and just one look at her and i see someone smiling down on me
C          C/B          Am   C/B C               D               G    D           
and im not too proud to say that was the best mistake ive ever made

[Bridge]
 C                       C/B                Am

Am    C/B  C         C/B                Am               D  E  **Key Change A**
