Intro: F-C-G-C

C                                    G
I can see you're disappointed by the way you look at me 
                                C
And I'm sorry that I'm not the woman you thought I'd be 
                                                 F
Yes, I've made my mistakes, but listen and understand 
                    C                 G                  C
My mistakes are no worse than yours, Just because I'm a woman 

C            F                      C
So when you look at me, don't feel sorry for yourself 
 F                                     C                     G
Just think of all the shame you might have brought somebody else 
 C                                                        F
Just let me tell you this, then we'll both know where we stand 
                    C                 G                  C
My mistakes are no worse than yours, Just because I'm a woman 

C                                          G
Now a man will take a good girl and he'll ruin her reputation 
                                             C
But when he wants to marry, well, that's a different situation 
                                                     F
He'll just walk off and leave her to do the best she can 
                       C        G                C
While he looks for an angel to wear his wedding band 

C      F                                 C
Now I know that I'm no angel, if that's what you thought you'd found 
F                          C                G
I was just the victim of a man that let me down 
C                                                F
Yes, I've made my mistakes, but listen and understand 
                    C                 G                  C
My mistakes are no worse than yours, Just because I'm a woman 

    F                   C                 G                  C
No, my mistakes are no worse than yours, Just because I'm a woman
