Intro:

C    Am    Em    Dm    G    C    Am    Em    Dm    G


Verse 1:


Dm              G             C
    I never got tired of your holding hand

Dm             G                  C
    I only got tired of trying to understand

Dm             G             Am
    How I’m so different and grey

             F             G
    I always wanted you to say


Verse 2:


Dm                     G               C
    That everything is okay — it’s absolutely fine

Dm                 G                  C
    And you always did so, to give me peace of mind

Dm                 G             Am
    But I couldn't accept it, or believe

                   F                  G
    That there was something good for me


Chorus:


C           Am           Em        Dm     G
   I want a love that is perfect          all the time

C           Am           Em        Dm     G
   To be completely      devoted,         heart in my eye

C           Am           Em        Dm     G
    Surely, it should be easy         and effortless

C           Am           Em        Dm     G
        But reality      leaves me        short of breath


Riff:

 C    Am    Em    Dm    G    C    Am    Em    Dm    G


Verse 3:


Dm                   G              C
   What we had was amazing, we were more than close

Dm                        G                  C
  You were the one that I trusted, and who I cared for most — apart from me

Dm                  G     Am
   But our security faded away

                F               G
   Now there is nothing left to say


Chorus:


C           Am           Em        Dm     G
   I want a love that is perfect          all the time

C           Am           Em        Dm     G
   To be completely      devoted,         heart in my eye

C           Am           Em        Dm     G
    Surely, it should be easy         and effortless

C           Am           Em        Dm     G
        But reality      leaves me        short of breath
