I Was Wrong
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I dreamed I was someone special In another life
They gave me my fifteen minutes Then they pulled the knife
It was just another deal It was just another reel
On a tape that keeps on turning In the dark in another world
I thought I was right I was wrong
I thought I had something I was wrong
I must have been dreaming All along
I was wrong I was wrong (then) Instrumental over VERSE
I had been replaced By a man who had no face
And who could not be traced To an address Just a better place
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh oh
G D G D G D G G G
I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong
