Happy Mistake

Am                 C 
I'm acting in this play of 
G                  F 
Comedy with tragic words 
Am               C 
The audience was smilin' 
G                    F 
Cheerin' on a scene absurd 

 

D                            Fm 
I can try to hide behind the makeup, but the show must go on 
 

C            E 
I feel so crazy 
                       F 
My head is filled with broken mirrors 
                 C 
So many, I can't look away 
C            E 
I'm in a bad way 
                   F 
If I could fix the broken pieces 
                  C 
Then I'd have a happy mistake 
 

Am            C 
A lonely disposition 
G                         F 
Portraits of a strung-out girl 
Am               C 
How'd I get so addicted 
G                        F 
To the love of the whole world?

   F                   C 
If I could bottle up a sunny day 
   G                 F 
So brilliantly, it'd wash away the sad mistakes 
                             C 
And I could hold my heart in a safe place 
      G 
All I need to breathe 
         F 
Is one happy mistake

Make my

Happy mistake
