The Perfect Date

Em7            D         C
He was IT, she worked in accounting

C               D
His cubicle was down the hall

G              Em7 D         C
Sometimes they ran into each other

   Em                     Am   D
At the water cooler or the elevator

G           Em         D      C
He knew she blogged on cinema verite

Em                Am7    D
She knew he had a rescue dog

Em                    D          
He knew she liked the time before
    C
 sunrise

Em                    Am          
and 8 weeks that's as far as they 
D
got

      A            B        Em   
Til he summoned the guts and 
            D
worked up the courage

    C               Bm   D
And invited her out on a date

              A               B   
And while she liked him a lot it 
   Em         D
was totally awkward

         C                    
But they made arrangements for 
 D
saturday

        A                        
But his subway got stuck and she 
Am                         D
was about to leave the cafe

         A          C     D      
It was a total disaster, it was a
         G
 perfect date

(Verse 2)

             Em       D            
Well by this time his flowers were 
C
wilted

Em                            
And they bumped noses when they 
  D
tried to hug

Em                      D        
He spilled his wine all over the 
C
waitress

Em                        Am     
And a second time when he filled 
       D
her cup

A         B         Em          
After the meal they went to the 
D
movies

    C                        D
The film had been widely discussed

    A                B        Em 
But there were a lot more sex 
             D
scenes than one would have thought

C                    D
Thank god it was dark cause they 
both blushed

    A                          A  
And fiddled with their popcorn and
                            D
 waited for the credits to wane.

         A          C             
It was a total disaster, it was a 
G
perfect date.
(Verse 3)

           Em7      D             
After the film they walked down 
     C
the river

Em               Am7         D
He got shy cause he liked her

G          Em             D     
Went for a punch line and poorly
       C
 delivered

G           Em          Am7
He knew the joke but he lost his 
nerve

G             Em7           D   
She kicked herself when she 
          C
couldnt stop talking

Em                   D
About the meaning of meaninglessness

G               D                
He nodded yes although she had 
   C
lost him

Em                        D
Stepped on her foot as he gave her a
 kiss

    A          B        Em       
And maybe they werent a vision of
     D
 grace

              C                 G 
But there was something between 
          D
them that showed

             A               B    
And if you'd seen them that day, 
   Em                D
you would have picked up

         C                      
On the inception of love and you 
 D
would have known

          A                        
That they couldnt mess it up cause 
   A
it plainly was the work

    D
of fate

         A          C             
It was a total disaster, it was a 
D        G
perfect date
(Bridge)

              C              D    
And maybe her cardigan didnt get 
                 G
the memo that the eighties

         F#m        Em
had been over for a while

         C                     
maybe he fell a little short of 
 D
cassanova

       G        F#m              
but he paid her compliments and 
Em           D
made her smile

         A                  A 
like two pieces of a puzzle put 
                  D
together from above

           A                       
There's no earthly way to judge 
     C            G
when it comes to the mystery

   Em7  G
of love

   A                           
no earthly way to judge when it 
 C            D
comes to the mystery

G
of love
