Tom: Em
Am
Its been eighteen months since i kissed you once
C
so just saying hi just isn't gonna fly
D Cadd9
if you give me a clue, in a minute or two, then i might remember your name
Am
and i hate to insist that i was really that pissed
C
but to tell the truth in my flush of youth
D Cadd9
i would drown my sights so that faces and nights seemed the same
Am C
and a nervous shrug and an awkward hug wont get me out of this hole ive dug
D Cadd9
so i slip my noose with a poor excuse and talk to someone, anyone else
Am C
i sit with my friends and i try to pretend that i never did that kinda
D Cadd9
thing again, but im lying to myself
G
Suddenly well its as clear as clear can be.
Cadd9
im not quite the perfect man that i'd hoped i'd be.
A7sus4
and though i'd always tried 2 live an honest life
Cadd9
to tell the truth ive told my share of lies
Am
i remember you ofcourse i do
C
but i dont recall how many times we've been through
D Cadd9
this little game that always ends the same with you sad, and me far away
Am C
and every time i repeat the line that the faults not mine and i wasnt unkind
D Cadd9
the worst part is, is ive got nothing else to say
G
Suddenly well its as clear as clear can be.
Cadd9
im not quite the perfect man that i'd hoped i'd be.
A7sus4
and though i'd always tried 2 live an honest life
Cadd9
to tell the truth ive told my share of lies
B7 A7sus4 C
and all the pretty little pictures of faith and firm devotion, that i
G B7 A7sus4
painted as a child. well theyve all fallen by the wayside
C G
along with all my puppy fat, and my days have taught me this
B7 A7sus4 C
that everyday i spend pretending that i always choose the right path
G B7 Am
its the days that i choose the wrong oh yea my wisdom teeth have been
C G
giving me grief they woke me up 2 find, im exactly the kind of guy i'd said
Cadd9
that i'd rather be dead than to be in the days back when i got laid yea
G Cadd9
Suddenly well its as clear as clear can be.
A7sus4 Cadd9
im not quite the perfect man that i'd hoped i'd be.
G Cadd9
and though i'd always tried 2 live an honest life
A7sus4 D Cadd9
