If all my wrongs were righted
C Am
And all the dreams I planned

C Am
For the greatest dream I ever dreamed
G C C7
Is to know a perfect love
BDA K:
F G E Am
A perfect love is sometimes found with just one right mistake
F C D G
That brings the perfect couple to the crossroads that they make
C E F C
And now that I have found her I changed my point of view
Am Dm G
And I learned that old regretful paths can lead to something new
