Im gonna make a mistake- Im gonna do it on purpose
C7 F7 Em
Im gonna waste my time
Em A7 Em A7
Cuz Im full as a tick and Im scratching at the surface
C7 F7 Em B7
And what I find is mine
Gm Eb Gm
And when the day is done and I look back
Eb Cm F7
And the fact is I had fun fumbling around
Gm Eb Gm
All the advice I shunned and I ran
Eb Cm F7
Where they told me not to run but I sure Had fun so
Em A7 Em A7
Im gonna f*** it up again Im gonna do another detour
C7 F7 Em
Unpave my path
Em A7 Em A7
And if you wanna make sense Whatcha looking at me for
C7 F7 Em B7

Gm Eb Gm
And when I find my way back
Eb Cm F7
The fact is I just may stay or I may not
