A Mistake Today For Me
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.
Make a mistake today for me, go for broke.
Be funny for me when there ain't no joke.
Since i wa a boy in school
I could never follow no rule
A mistake today for me, go for broke.
Make a mistake today for me, something rash.
Go and buy yourself some brand new clothes that clash.
But a mistake for me, a break for me.
A mistake today for me, go for broke.
(guitar)
Make a mistake for me
A break for me
A mistake today for me, go for broke
A mistake today for me, go for broke
Go for broke.
