D  Em  D  Em




Verse 1:
Dmaj7          Em
We get to be a ripple in the water
Dmaj7          Em
We get to be a rock that’s thrown
Dmaj7          Em
We get to be a boy on the bridge
Dmaj7                      Em
Standing over the reservoir

Verse 2:
Dmaj7           Em
I see the water lap along the shoreline
Dmaj7                  Em
The buried forest of a man-made lake
Dmaj7              Em
The cemeteries are laying underneath it
     Dmaj7                         Em
Your heart like a dam when it breaks


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


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


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


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


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


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


Post-Chorus:
     A            D
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world)
                             Em7
Can we learn to live another way?
                  A              D
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world)
                             Em7
Can we learn to live another way?
     A            D
It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world
     Em7         D     Em
It's one perfect world


Outro:

We get to be a ripple in the water
