Intro:

D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm



Verse 1:
Dmaj7Dmaj7     E minorEm
We get to be a ripple in the water
Dmaj7Dmaj7     E minorEm
We get to be a rock that’s thrown
Dmaj7Dmaj7     E minorEm
We get to be a boy on the bridge
Dmaj7Dmaj7           E minorEm
Standing over the reservoir

Verse 2:
Dmaj7Dmaj7      E minorEm
I see the water lap along the shoreline
Dmaj7Dmaj7         E minorEm
The buried forest of a man-made lake
Dmaj7Dmaj7       E minorEm
The cemeteries are laying underneath it
   Dmaj7Dmaj7             E minorEm
Your heart like a dam when it breaks


Chorus:
D MajorD        C majorC
We are floating, we are swimming
G+G
And in this moment we are forgetting
   D MajorD     C majorC
What it costs, what it takes
  G+G
For one perfect world
N.C.           D MajorD E minor 7Em7 D MajorD E minor 7Em7
When we look the other way


Verse 3:
D MajorD            E minor 7Em7
I’m okay if I don’t look a little closer
E minorEm
(I am driving with the tank full)
D MajorD          E minor 7Em7
I’m okay if I don’t see beyond the shore
E minor 7Em7
(The sun is blistering the black top road)
D MajorD          E minor 7Em7
I’m okay if I don’t have to do the killing
E minor 7Em7
(We are talking, cellular and mobile)
D MajorD               E minor 7Em7
Or know what the killing is for
E minor 7Em7
(As if it’s some kind of cure for this world of woe)

Chorus:
D MajorD        C majorC
We are talking, we are driving
G+G
And in this moment we are denying
   D MajorD       C majorC
What it costs, what it takes
  G+G
For one perfect world
         D MajorD
When we look the other way


Post-Chorus:
   E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA       D MajorD
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world)
D MajorD
When we look the other way
   E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA       D MajorD
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world)
D MajorD
When we look the other way
   E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA       D MajorD   E minor 7Em7 D MajorD E minor 7Em7
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Yeah)


Verse 4:
D MajorD              G+G
If you can’t see beyond the myth of isolation
    D MajorD              E minor 7Em7
And the miracle of daybreak doesn’t move you anymore
D MajorD                  G+G
Connect the points and see the constellations
    D MajorD              G+G
As the night comes down on the reservoir


Chorus:
D MajorD        C majorC
We are swimming, we are floating
  G+G
And in this moment we are beholden
    D MajorD         C majorC
To what it costs, to what it takes
  G+G
For one perfect world
               E minor 7Em7
Can we learn to live another way?


Post-Chorus:
   A augmentedA      D MajorD
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world)
               E minor 7Em7
Can we learn to live another way?
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world)
               E minor 7Em7
Can we learn to live another way?
   A augmentedA      D MajorD
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world
   E minor 7Em7     D MajorD   E minorEm
It's one perfect world
