Perfection As A Hipster chords by Neil Hannon

Verse 1:
             G        C              G      G
They'd never met, the singer and the swinger
      Em            D
She walked in, they walked around each other
 C                           G        G
Fighting for the mirror and smiling


Verse 2:
         Em
She was awkward
        D
I was tongue tied
        C
She was goofy

Pre-Chorus:
           G          C            G       G
And she aspired to perfection as a hipster
        Em
And she asked me,
     D                G
("How should I wear my problem hair
   C               G
My dirty, no good problem hair?")

    Em
She asked me
  D
I blew it
  B
I knew it


Chorus:
C        D                 G
I always wonder how things could've been
                       B
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
C           D
Spend every second day just
G                     B
Dreaming how the ?rst one ought to be
C            Am           Em    D    C
My dream was realised but I     was  sleeping
      Cm
I was sleeping


Verse 3:
             G         C                  G
I caught the girl, her eyelids started to ?utter
          Em
And in my arms
    D                    G
She passed out cold, are you okay?
     C                      G
Just lie still, you'll feel better


Verse 4:
(What happened? I want to go home)
     Em
Feel better
(Where am I, what have I got on?)
     D
Feel better
(You say that but how do you know?)
     B
Feel better
(Who are you, what do you want?)


Chorus 2:
C        D                 G
I always wonder how things could've been
                       B
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
C           D
Spend every second day just
G                     B
Dreaming how the ?rst one ought to be
C            Am           Em    D    C
My dream was realised but I     was  sleeping
      Am
I was sleeping
      C
I was sleeping
      Am
I was sleeping
