Greatness And Perfection

Julian Cope


Tom: C

G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba


[Chorus]
    F          C            G         Em
The greatest imperfection is love love love
F                    G   Em
But I can't keep the fire away
    F          C            G         Em
The greatest imperfection is love love love
F                    G   Em       D
But I can't keep the fire away


[Verse 1]
G            A
   Take your place
   C
And take your time
    D
And that's what matters
G        A
   I can see
    C                D
The contours in your face
G             A
   Faith, and now
  C                  D
I think it's time to sleep, sleep
G           A
Sleep with me
        C               D
Here's something rather deep


[Chorus]
    F          C            G         Em
The greatest imperfection is love love love
F                    G   Em
But I can't keep the fire away
    F          C            G         Em
The greatest imperfection is love love love
F                    G   Em       D
But I can't keep the fire away


[Verse 2]
G            A
   It’s only fair
     C            D
They take away my light, I spend my
G         A
time with you
C          D
What’s the matter with that
G          A
rhyme? And who are you
           D            C
To give my life so much meaning?
        D             C
I can’t stand so much meaning
        D                    C
Hold my hand, 'cause I’m not healing
Am                     D
I need to find a way ahead


[Chorus]
    F          C            G         Em
The greatest imperfection is love love love
F                    G   Em
But I can't keep the fire away
    F          C            G         Em
The greatest imperfection is love love love
F                    G   Em       D
But I can't keep the fire away


[Outro]
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
G       A        C
Baaa ba baaa baa ba
