Em        A7              Em        A7
I'm gonna make a mistake- I'm gonna do it on purpose
C7        F7         Em
I'm gonna waste my time
Em       A7              Em      A7
'Cuz I'm full as a tick, and I'm scratching at the surface
C7        F7       Em
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
I'm gonna f*** it up again, I'm 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
I'm no good at math
Gm  Eb             Gm
And when I find my way back,
Eb                 Cm             F7
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
Gm      Eb           Gm     Eb
I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made
   Cm                     F7
mistake, I wanna make a mistake why can't I make a mistake?
Em A7 Em A7 G D
Em  Eb     G
I'm always doing what I think I should
Em     Eb     G
Almost always doing everybody good
Em Eb G C Bb7 B7
Why-
Em A7 Em A7 C7 F7 Em A7 Em A7 C7 F7 Em B7
Gm   Eb                 Gm
Do I wanna do right, of course but
     Eb                    Cm        F7
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to answer you, hell no
Gm      Eb           Gm     Eb
I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made
   Cm                     F7
mistake, I wanna make a mistake why can't I make a mistake?
Em A7 Em A7 G D
Em  Eb     G
I'm always doing what I think I should
Em     Eb     G
Almost always doing everybody good
Em Eb G C Bb7 B7
