Imperfect Tense chords by Frank Turner

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Am*


Verse 1:
A minorAm                    Fsus2Fsus2
Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor
Gsus2Gsus2
Somewhere in the city
A minorAm                        Fsus2Fsus2
Three days not sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
      Gsus2Gsus2        DmDm
Drenched in sweat and self-pity now
DmDm            Fsus2Fsus2
It's not a pretty sight

Chorus:
    Gsus2Gsus2    Am*   Fsus2Fsus2
What to say in my defense?
 Gsus2Gsus2     Am*
I was imperfect, tense
Fsus2Fsus2       Gsus2Gsus2     C majorC     C/BC/B   Fsus2Fsus2 FF
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
       G+G          Am*
So won't you be my present sense?


Verse 2:
A minorAm                       Fsus2Fsus2
Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
           Gsus2Gsus2
To come down off this murderous medication
A minorAm                    Fsus2Fsus2      Gsus2Gsus2        DmDm
Trying to remember my reasons for running myself into the ground with such dedication


Chorus:
Fsus2Fsus2  Gsus2Gsus2    Am*    Fsus2Fsus2
What to say in my defense?
 Gsus2Gsus2     Am*
I was imperfect, tense
Fsus2Fsus2       Gsus2Gsus2     C majorC     C/BC/B   Fsus2Fsus2 FF
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
       G+G       Bb majorBb  A minorAm  G#G#  G7G7
So won't you be my present sense?


Bridge:
DmDm  C majorC  G/BG/B  A minorAm G+G
It's not meant to be
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm  G+G FF
I am lost at sea
  DmDm C majorC   G/BG/B A minorAm G+G
So mermaids sing to me

    C majorC
Of the better times and the things that can be
    FF
And of islands in the Mediterranean sea
    C majorC
And of eating and sleeping and times when I should
    FF
And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood
     DmDm        G+G
And I've nothing to say in my defense
  DmDm          G+G
I'm far from perfect and I'm still tense
   DmDm        G+G
They say that love can change you once
    DmDm         G+G
Please, say that love can change me once
    Fsus2Fsus2
Come on change me
