Broken Bells - Perfect World
Bm D A F#m E
Bm D A
Oh London moon, help me stumble home
F#m E
let me lose myself along the way
Bm D A
I've got nothing left it's kinda wonderful
F#m E
cause there's nothing they can take away, away
Bm D A F#m E
Bm D A
The open doors, left me wanting more
F#m E
never thought they'd close them all the way
Bm D A
The ordinary life they want for you
F#m E
is it too much to have to bear?
Bm D
Well it's another way to any useless fight
A
You've been lying so long don't know when you're faking
F#m E
See the water on the rise
Bm D
Just another day into a useless night
A
I've been pushing so hard now my hands are shaking
F#m E
See the water on the rise
[Chorus]
Bm D A
But I've been turned around, I was upside down
F#m E
I thought love would always find a way
Bm D A
But I know better now, got it figured out
F#m E
It's a perfect world all the same, woah
[Instrumental (same chords)]
[Repeat Chorus]
[More instrumental]
Bm D A
I was hoping for an easy rambling life
F#m E
until an ocean came to my mind
Bm D A
we look for exit signs but we can't be changed
F#m E
into nothing overnight
Bm D A
though we know it's over, it keeps exploding
F#m E
every morning when we rise
[Instrumental to fade]
