In A Perfect World

[Verse 1]
F                 C/G
 I'm so scared of falling
     G
I was in and out, up and down,
     Am7          C/G
too afraid to be open
F                             C/G
 I found myself in you and it made me feel so fucking
      G
scared
F                   C/G
 'Cause, when I am open
    G                              Am7       C/G
All my past and all my pain floats up to the surface
       F                      C/G
You can even cut me down with a  smile,
               G
it hurts so bad
So I leave

[Pre-Chorus]
C/G Am7                      G
       when it gets too good, yeahyeah
       C/G Am7
I leave       when it gets too good
G
 But

[Chorus]
        F                    C/G
In a perfect world, I am here   with you
          G                 Am7
And I kiss you slow in a dimlit room
             F
When you ask me if I love you, I say,
C/G
   "I do"
           G
I'm not running from my problems
            Am7
And I'm not running from you
            F
And we're so damn happy,
           C/G
and I'm not   confused
            G
I'm not looking for an escape
               Am7                    F
All 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
    C/G        G         Am7
Ooh,   in a perfect world

[Verse 2]
F                      C/G
 Yeah, at least you're selfaware,
                  G
I'll give you some credit
            Am7              C/G                 F
But walking out on something perfect's really stupid,
yeah
Baby, I said it
C/G                    G
   You're so scared of regretting something
Before you can even regret it
F                C/G
 And we could be great,
                                   G
and it would be great if you'd let it,
  Am7 C/G
uh
But you leave

[Pre-Chorus]
F C/G                      G
     when it gets too good, yeahyeah
         C/G Am7
You leave       when it gets too good
G
 But

[Chorus]
        C/G                  Am7
In a perfect world, I am here   with you
          G
And I kiss you slow in a dimlit room
             F
When you ask me if I love you, I say,
C/G
   "I do"
           G
I'm not running from my problems
            Am7
And I'm not running from you
            F
And we're so damn happy,
           C/G
and I'm not   confused
            G
I'm not looking for an escape
               Am7                    F
All 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
    C/G        G
Ooh,   in a perfect world
Am7
   I leave

[Post-Chorus]
F C/G                     G
     when it gets too good
                      Am7
When it gets too good,
    C/G    F    C/G                     G
You always leave   when it gets too good
  Am7 C/G
Oh    but

[Outro]
        F
In a perfect world,
            C/G
there's just   us two
         G               Am7   C/G
And I let myself get lost   in you
             F
When you ask me if I love you, I say,
C/G
   "I do"
           G
I'm not running from my problems
            Am7          C/G
And I'm not running from you
