Lyrics

ALWAYS MAKE THE MISTAKE 

capo vi 
intro: G(d) Gsus4 G(b) 
verse: G C G x2 Em C G C G C G 
chorus: C Em D G C Em D D7 

there's a river i see from my room 
that calls a young man to his doom 
& if he hangs his head he's gone too soon 
oh youth does not make you immune 
the past is not burdened with proof 
like the films i recall from my youth 
& a young man dressed in his father's suit 
i can make a lie from the hardest truth 

[chorus] 
& i always make the mistake oh i 
always make the mistake 

you were drawn to the clouds in his eyes 
lord knows what you saw in mine 
a promise we could compromise 
oh love is a foolish prize 
we could claim a great many things 
you were the song i needed to sing 
the truth was you always wore his ring 
& we were only borrowing 

[chorus] 

there's a river i see from my room 
& i will walk through the pale afternoon 
& the birds still sing, i recall the tune 
perhaps i will see you soon... 
perhaps i will see you soon.
