Em               D     C                     Bm
Tryin' to get control, pressure's takin' its toll
Em                  D     C                D
Stuck in the middle zone, I just want you alone
Em                  D       C                  D
My guessing game is strong, way too real to be wrong
Em                      D        C           N.C.
Caught up in your show, yeah, at least now I know

Mistaken for love, it wasn't love, it was a

    You were a perfect illusion


Verse 2:

Em                   D    C                   Bm
I don't need eyes to see, I felt you touchin' me
Em               D     C                   D
High like amphetamine, maybe you're just a dream
Em                      D      C                   D
That's what it means to crush, now that I'm wakin' up
Em               D           C                D
I still feel the blow but at least now I know

Perfect illusion (perfect illusion)

D
Why did I feel you watchin' me
A/C#
Why did I feel you watchin' me
C
Why did I feel you watchin' me
