I haven't got one single regret, no

E A
Oh, I'm a hopeless crash collision

I've been a saint, i've been the truth, I've been the lie

A new day you can go, you can do anything you wanna

It's your play, swing low, go high, anywhere you wanna

You can reach for the moon, anywhere your dreams can take you
E
Go astray, fade away, just leave it to-
[Chorus]
