I took a walk in a small town Sunday morning
C       F            G        C
Just to see what was going on
             C          F            G               F
Sat watching two guys fishing in the river running through
              C         F      G           C
Like there was nothing wrong, nothing wrong
               Am                 F
They had their lines in the water ten feet apart
Am                     F
  Beer guts, t-shirts, me with my heavy heart
  Am                          F
I don't have religion but I'm trying to pray
      Am                        F              G
And I never liked fishing but I wanted to stand up and say
C    F  G                F         C         F       G          F
  Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change, don't ever change
C    F  G                F         C         F       G       C
  Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change

🎸 Verse :
C             F              G           F
  I picked my daughter up at school last week
            C            F            G         C
She had her headphones on, she barely said hello
          C             F          G              F
And all I wanted was to hug her, smother her with kisses
          C           F         G          C
But I was cool, like “Hi there, how did it go ”
        Am                   F
She had chipped nail polish, writing on her hand
        Am                      F
She was nodding her head to her favorite band
  Am                           F
Staring into space like she was all alone
       Am                         F                G
But I didn't take it personal, it meant that I was home and I said
C    F  G                F         C         F       G          F
  Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change, don't ever change
C    F  G                F         C         F       G         C
  Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change don't ever change

🎸 Bridge:
Em            Am                      F
  I'm holding on to everything that's good in this world
                     G
There's a lot that's good in this world

C   F   G   F   C   F   G   C



🎸 Verse :
C          F            G              F
  I saw my baby sitting there at the breakfast table
C            F              G       C
  His hair a mess and he forgot to shave
      C                    F       G            F
And I wished that he would get up, make it all better
     C             F         G        C
Stop drinking so much, learn how to behave
         Am                  F
Then the radio was playing a Chuck Berry song
           Am                   F
And he was looking at me asking what was wrong
Am                     F
  I made a list of the things I could say
       Am                    F         G
But he gave me a wink and it all went away
I told him
C    F  G                F         C         F       G          F
  Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change, don't ever change
C    F  G                F         C         F       G         C
  Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change don't ever change
