Perfection Thoughts (Track 9, Rise & ride toward…)

Verse 1

G                                     Bm                                            Em             C

We all get lost along the way. It pains me to forget the wisdom of

youth
D
And pensive thought ensues…

I wrote in pen upon my hand what I had to do, to be at peace with all my dreams and my fears, remember remember remember…
That there is so much we can do. It all begins with thinking perfection thoughts…

Chorus 1

Em    D   C
(Riff part…)

Verse 2

There comes a time when we hold on, if not to gold then to the way that we were. I’ve seen it, I’ve seen it, I’ve seen it.
These are the times when the unsaid should be spoken loud. To extend love to all our family and friends –instead of piss talk in bars.
You know I love you, don’t forget it. You know I love you, don’t forget it. Lets go for a coffee some time, maybe next Tuesday night? Maybe another time…

Chorus 2

Outro

G       A     Bm        A    G

G      A    Bm      A         Bm  A    G
Look out over, embrace all that’s right…

We spoke of things unsaid
Now you will feel the glory
We should have seen it long ago…

We’ll be the kind of couple who are always comfortable with each others’ misgivings

Like just last night I walked ahead and said some things I did not mean and made jokes that were obscene.

I know you say there’s truth in jest, but I don’t know if you know best.

It’s just that sometimes I get scared, get jealous, unprepared for all this feeling.

Chorus 1

C                                               Em                               F

I have to say I love you more and more Everyday

Then we roll out our futon from freecycle that we carried on our cycles to our home.

There are a few favourite things that we do, like watching you, watching me, watching TV…

Verse 1

C/G                                                           G
She walked into the room and I fell for her
And I don’t normally fall like that, no I don’t normally fall like that.

She’s laughing at a joke and giving out high fives
And I can hardly contain the joy that’s building inside

Verse 2

There’s a few people I know and they are the good ones
When I can talk to no one I can talk to them…

Verse 3

She walked into the room and I fell for her
And I don’t normally fall like that, no I don’t normally fall like that.

I feel a warm glowing light reaching every darkness I keep inside
Float through the remnants of scene to something that’s brighter…

And I don’t normally feel like that…

NB: It’s C/G-G the whole way through with riff that can be worked out.
