[Intro]
[Chorus 1]
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me And you and you and you and me And you and you and you and me And you and you and you and me And you and you and you and me andG MEm9e, I wasn't Ataught F#m7to share F#7
But Gcare, Em9in anAother life, I surely F#m7was tF#7here
G MEm9e, I wasn't Ataught A#dimto share
But Bm7care, I Em6care, I C#m7care F#m7 F#7
[Verse 1]
GHell-raising, wheel-chasing, Em9new worldly possessions
AFlesh-making, spirit-breaking, F#m7which one would you F#7lessen?
The Gbetter part, the human heart, you Em9love ’em or dissect 'em
AHappiness or flashiness, how F#m7do you serve the F#7question?
GSee, in the perfect world, I would be Em9perfect, world
I don't Atrust people enough beyond they A#dimsurface, world
I don't Bm7love people enough to put my Em6faith in men
I put my C#m7faith in these lyrics hoping I F#m7make amend, I F#7understand
[Verse 2]
I Gain't perfect, I probably won't Em9come around
This time I might Aput you down, last time I ain't F#m7give a fuck
I F#7still feel the Gsame now, my feelings might Em9go numb
You're dealing with Acold thumb, I’m willing to give F#m7up a leg and F#arm and show Gempathy from
Pity parties Em9and functions and you and yours,A a perfect world, you probably A#dimlive another 24
Bm7 I can’t fake humble just 'Em6cause your ass is insecure
C#m7 I can’t fake humble just 'F#m7cause your ass is F#7insecure
[Chorus 2]
G MEm9e, I wasn't Ataught F#m7to share F#7
But Gcare, Em9in anAother life, I surely F#m7was tF#7here
G MEm9e, I wasn't Ataught A#dimto share
But Bm7care, I Em6care, I
[Refrain]

A#dimMaybe I wasn’t Bm Em6 C#m7 F#m7 F#7
[Verse 3]
Now Gin a perfect world, I probably Em9won't be insensitive
ACold as December but never reF#m7member what F#7winter did
GI wouldn't blame you for mistakes Em9I made or the bed I laid
ASeems like I point the finger just to F#m7make a point F#7nowadays
GSmiles and cold stares, the Em9temperature goes there
AIndigenous disposition, feel A#dimlike we belong here
I Bm7know the walls, they can listen, I Em6wish they could talk back
The C#m7hurt becomes repetition, the F#m7love almost F#7lost that
[Verse 4]
GSick venom in men and Em9women overcome with pride
A Aperfect world is never F#m7perfect, only F#7filled with lies
GPromises are broken and Em9more resentment come alive
ARace barriers make inF#m7ferior of F#7you and I
See, Gin a perfect world, I'll choose Em9faith over riches
I'll choose Awork over bitches, I'll make A#dimschools out of prison
I'll take Bm7all the religions and put 'em Em6all in one service
Just to C#m7tell 'em we ain't shit, but F#m7He's been F#7perfect, world
[Chorus 3]
G MEm9e, I wasn't Ataught F#m7to share F#7
But Gcare, Em9in anAother life, I surely F#m7was tF#7here
G MEm9e, I wasn't Ataught A#dimto share
But Bm7care, I Em6care, I C#m7care F#m7 F#7
