 The alternate chords, while a bit tricky to play, sound more like the record.
 The entire song, save the "hold Am" parts, is:
 Show me the best that you got, and I'll show you one better
 Show me your reddest rose, and I'll show you one redder
 Tell me a dirty joke, and I'll laugh it off lightly
 If I tell you a dirty joke, you might not like me
 Everyone gets to make one big mistake
 And if you're waitin' on me
 Well, I guess you're gonna have to wait (hold Am)
 Ti-time-timing is everything if you've got nothin' but time
 (I got nothin' but time)
 And a lie don't mean nothin' if nobody knows when you're lying
 (lie when you lie)
 So lie when you do, lie when you don't
 Lie when you didn't, lie till you lie, lie, lie, lie
 They're wonderin' if anybody else is lying
 (end )
 Everyone gets to make one big mistake
 And if you're waitin' on me
 Well, I guess you're gonna have to wait (hold Am)
 'Cause I'm savin' mine up for a very, very special day
 When I can fuck it all up in the most spectacular way (hold Am)
 Everyone gets to make one big mistake
 And if you're waitin' on me
 Well, I guess you're gonna have to wait
 And wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait
 Everyone gets to make one big mistake
 (mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake)
 And if you're waitin' on me
 Well, I guess you're gonna have to wait (you're gonna have to wait)
 'Cause I'm savin' mine up for a very, very special day
 (it doesn't even matter if it don't even matter)
 When I can fuck it all up in the most spectacular way (hold Am)
 Show me the best that you got, and I'll show you one better
 Show me your reddest rose, and I'll show you one redder (hold Am)
 Tell me a dirty joke, and I'll laugh it off lightly
 If I tell you a dirty joke, you might not like me (hold Am)
