Capo 5th fret


[Intro]
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride’s gonna be the death of 
you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and


[Chorus 1]
G  Em9         A      F#m7     F#7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                 
But care, in another life, I 
   F#m7 F#7
surely was there
G  Em9         A      A#dim
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     C#m7  F#m7 F#7
But care, I care, I care


[Verse 1]
G                            Em9
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new 
worldly possessions
A                              
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, 
F#m7                F#7
which one would you lessen?
    G                            
The better part, the human heart, 
     Em9
you love ’em or dissect 'em
A                            F#m7
Happiness or flashiness, how do 
             F#7
you serve the question?
G                                 
See, in the perfect world, I would
    Em9
 be perfect, world
        A                          
I don't trust people enough beyond 
     A#dim
they surface, world
        Bm7                        
I don't love people enough to put 
  Em6
my faith in men
         C#m7                 
I put my faith in these lyrics 
          F#m7          F#7
hoping I make amend, I understand


[Verse 2]
  G                               
I ain't perfect, I probably won't 
Em9
come around

                  A                
This time I might put you down, 
               F#m7
last time I ain't give a fuck
  F#7            G          
I still feel the same now, my 
                 Em9
feelings might go numb
                    A              
You're dealing with cold thumb, I’m
                 F#m7         F#  
 willing to give up a leg and arm 
         G
and show empathy from
             Em9                   
Pity parties and functions and you 
          A                    
and yours, a perfect world, you 
          A#dim
probably live another 24
Bm7                            
     I can’t fake humble just 'cause
Em6
 your ass is insecure
C#m7                           
     I can’t fake humble just 
F#m7              F#7
'cause your ass is insecure


[Chorus 2]
G  Em9         A      F#m7     F#7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                 
But care, in another life, I 
   F#m7 F#7
surely was there
G  Em9         A      A#dim
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     N.C.
But care, I care, I care


[Refrain]
               G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#dim          Bm    Em6    
Maybe I wasn’t
C#m7    F#m7   F#7



[Verse 3]
    G                              
Now in a perfect world, I probably 
Em9
won't be insensitive
A                            F#m7
Cold as December but never 
        F#7
remember what winter did
G                                 
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes 
Em9
I made or the bed I laid
A                                 
Seems like I point the finger just
    F#m7         F#7
 to make a point nowadays
G                         
Smiles and cold stares, the 
  Em9
temperature goes there
A                            
Indigenous disposition, feel like we
A#dim
 belong here
  Bm7                              
I know the walls, they can listen, 
  Em6
I wish they could talk back
    C#m7                         
The hurt becomes repetition, the 
F#m7        F#7
love almost lost that


[Verse 4]
G                     Em9
Sick venom in men and women overcome
 with pride
  A                      F#m7     
A perfect world is never perfect, 
     F#7
only filled with lies
G                       Em9
Promises are broken and more 
resentment come alive
A                    F#m7      
Race barriers make inferior of you 
F#7
and I
     G                             
See, in a perfect world, I'll 
  Em9
choose faith over riches
            A                      
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll
      A#dim
 make schools out of prison
          Bm7                      
I'll take all the religions and put
     Em6
 'em all in one service
        C#m7                       
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but
 F#m7      F#7
 He's been perfect, world


[Chorus 3]
G  Em9         A      F#m7     F#7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                 
But care, in another life, I 
   F#m7 F#7
surely was there
G  Em9         A      A#dim
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     C#m7  F#m7 F#7
But care, I care, I care


[Refrain]
               G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#dim          Bm    Em6    
C#m7    F#m7   F#7
