Perfect circle – Katie Melua

Intro:
A minorAm B minorBm A minorAm B minorBm A minorAm B minorBm A minorAm


A minorAm          C majorC
1. A augmentedA mask is easily placed,
G+G             FF
on a betrayed and broken face.
DmDm            A minorAm             G+G
A augmentedA disguise to hide the past, when you mapped out my skin
FF
and made the memories last.

     A minorAm        C majorC
2. Some things are never erased,
      G+G         FF
and I have run when I've been chased,
DmDm             A minorAm
by recollections of you and me,
         G+G       FF
falling off our homemade castle.

C majorC              E MajorE         A minorAm      FF
And even when I'm walking straight, I always end up in a perfect circle,
    C majorC           E MajorE    A minorAm         FF
oh, I try, but I just can't wait, to break out of this perfect circle.
    G+G        FF      DmDm        G+G
'Cos giving into old temptation, is like that common twitch,
     G+G        FF                      C majorC
oh, the silly, stupid realisation, the more you scratch, the more you itch.

        A minorAm        C majorC
3. Why am I fighting, what's it for ?
       G+G        FF
Must let my mask drop to the floor.
   DmDm        A minorAm
My scars I shouldn't hide
      G+G          FF
from the people who are on my side,

   A minorAm           C majorC
4. Rolling up my sleeves to fight against,
     G+G                FF
all the things I locked up and all the things I fenced.
     DmDm      A minorAm
but it's time to let it out,
          G+G        FF
so we can build a brand new castle.

+CHORUS + D MajorD F#F# B minorBm G(2x)

   D MajorD           F#F#        B minorBm     G+G
And even when I'm walking straight, I always end up in a perfect circle,
    D MajorD           F#F#    B minorBm         G+G
oh, I try, but I just can't wait, to break out of this perfect circle.
    A augmentedA        G+G      E minorEm         A augmentedA
'Cos giving into old temptation, is like that common twitch,
     A augmentedA        G+G                       D MajorD
oh, the silly, stupid realisation, the more you scratch, the more you itch.

+ The more you scratch the more you itch.
