The Perfect Song

ubi_rex@hotmail.com

Change the B note (second fret) to C (third fret) in the G chord to make

it Gsus4. Early in the song he sticks to the low strings on the guitar

chords, but later, for effect, I like to just play all the strings.

Here's about how I strum, but it's probably easiest just to strum by ear.

1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+

dudu udududu udududu udududu udu

ten years older than I was what I brought you down to see,

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

what I thought would make you fall in love

wearing off on our dreams someday man I’m gonna be

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

no different than the other rivers

I tried to look at you but I couldn’t break the ice

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

you stood out there for an hour freezing

put your hand around my back I guess you thought I needed that

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

I never tried to find you

and I hope you don't remember me and I hope you’re not alone

wanted me to take you home. you said you'd rather be alone

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

I never thought of that

car was warm and we had wine

but I couldn't find the perfect song

now I own furniture for worn crows feet

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

and I can't even remember the car

sometimes I can feel your weight when i close my eyes

G -Gsus4 G -Gsus4

seven times I was under you

I never tried to find you

and I hope you don't remember me and I hope you’re not alone

and I don't wanna know what your thinking

I’m looking out the window--drinkin’ drinkin’ drinkin’

shallow frame and shaky sticks

but I know there's a river in me

shallow minded adult tricks

but I know there's a river in me

shallow frame and shaky sticks

but I know there's a river in me

I never tried to find you

and I hope you don't remember me and I hope you’re not alone

and I don't wanna know what your thinking

I’m looking out the window--drinkin’ drinkin’ drinkin’
