A PERFECT WORLD INTRO D Gmaj7 VERSE D Gmaj7 2x -BREAK- D VERSE D GMAJ72x CHORUS D Em(64) Bm Gmaj7 4x BRIDGE D pedal, Em G 2x down 2x up VERSE D Gmaj7 2x DOWN CHORUS D Em(64) Bm Gmaj7 4x OUTRO D F#7 G E(maj) Gmaj7 Gm D verse I wonder if she exists The girl in my head The one I thought was you Until you shot me dead And I lay still on your bedroom floor verse I love every bridge That I have burned Every lesson I have learned Every hater I have earned chorus Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend nothing changed As far as I know I'm still in your sister's arms While you watch tv ignoring me in the other room But I don't say goodbye I'm afraid of your eyes After they set me on fire And I ran for my life Bridge verse I don't understand Now two years down the road This shouldn't feel the way it does I shouldn't have this heavy load Down chorus In a perfect world, you wouldn't mean a thing to me I wouldn't cringe every time I hear your voice Though I burned this bridge, your hook is stuck inside my cheek But even when you tug and fuck my mind, outro On these sleepless nights I won't turn on the lights I'll do what's right I'll leave your life As long as you leave mine

Outro B E 3x B E G B VERSE I had potential and I squandered it╩ (Or at least in your eyes)╩ I don't really want to fall back where I was╩ Getting fat, eating your white lies╩ CHORUS And was it really so great?╩ All I recall are promises that ended up fake╩ And I can't help but think╩ Did I lose my free time or just my drive (or was it all a lie)╩ VERSE 2 I wanna live on the bleeding edge╩ So I can get into your club╩ I'll do what it takes to keep it fresh╩ I'd sell my soul for a ticket stub╩ CHORUS 2 And you know I'd hold on╩ All this time, I've been running in place╩ And it's getting so old╩ I'd love to move on, but you're busy saving face╩ BRIDGE SOLO I've had more fun pulling teeth, and it's so much easier╩ I close my eyes and there's no one to please╩ I've had more fun pulling teeth than doing what I believe╩ But at this point I'm just in too deep╩ CHORUS And I can never go back╩ I'll just convince myself what I have is all I could need╩ I got halfway there and found out I couldn't breathe╩ Well you really made a fool out of me

I gotta back away You're too nice to say anything But I don't wanna force your hand I didn't mean to get attached If only I could go back I'd never plant this seed You'd be marginally happier my friend I've been scared of heights all my life But I thought for once I could bite my tongue and fly I've been scared of heights all my life But I thought for once I could bite my tongue and fly Well you've been living in the sky So you can show me what it's like while I get out of your sight Our waves are far enough apart I have no clue where you are I'm awful with these sorts of things I choke every time you're passing by You're just another wall to climb And I was never good at hanging on I've been scared of heights all my life But I thought for once I could bite my tongue and fly I've been scared of heights all my life But I thought for once I could bite my tongue and fly Well you've been living in the sky So you can show me what it's like while I get out of your sight Well at least I got off my ass for once And gave it an honest shot But I never should've looked down I saw, I saw the chasms there I have never been more scared I shouted I just wanna go home Knowing full well that meant I'd be going home alone

Black and White Let's judge this fish on how it climbs a tree I can only wish it wasn't just like me The world only cares if you can climb an evergreen But then it turns around and lies and tells you to go for your dreams And I'm losing control sitting at home I don't wanna be alone I poured my heart out on a college app And my life became a circus act And we're jumping through hoops But all we wanna do is get something from you By passing all your tests and going on to school Do you think we like to deal with your shit We're cramming in a model we will never fit And don't you try to label me defective And don't you try to label me defective Cause once I step back a little bit, they'll eat me alive And I refuse to see life in black and white I refuse to give up this fight And there's nothing you can throw That'll get me down I know what makes me smile And I plan to skip town When you touch one thing in the mix Everything else will seem loud I need your stability fix Before I start to spiral down Let's judge this fish on how it climbs a tree I can only wish it wasn't just like me The world only cares if you can climb an evergreen But then it turns around and lies and tells you to go for your dreams

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH I just wish you could understand Why I split at the seams I tried my best but this proved too much for me And now that I'm growing old I'm more and more scared of ghosts It seems that I'm never alone Just the thought of you brings out the cold And I've seen enough to know I needed you to grow But now I'm leaving you behind Now I see you everywhere but it's just your twin I say hello and she scoffs at me and I can never win And I know that people never change They just die off and down comes the rain And I've seen enough to know I needed you to grow But now I'm leaving you behind
