[Verse 1]

          Cm7                Dm7    G7
There's a girl standin' on a corner
         Cm7                     G7
Watchin' love walk right out her door
                 Cm7                   Dm7     G7
She thought that love was like a shiny diamond
        Cm7               G7              G      Cm7  Dm7 G7
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw


[Verse 2]

          Cm7                        Dm7   G7
Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours
        Cm7                 G7
Wishin' he would change his mind
Cm7                         Dm7      G7
  Caught in that paradox of feelin's
          Cm7                   G7              G
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine


[Chorus]

Cm7                     F7
Love is a perfect imperfection
            Cm7              F7  G7
Sometimes a happy, sometimes sad
Cm7                      F7
Whenever love comes your direction
           Cm7                 G7
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide


[Bridge]

Ab                       F                 Eb
You know that there's no reason for you to be alone
                            Ab                       F
Just 'cause love's treason, broke, broke your, happy home
            Eb                     G                      Cm7
How can you celebrate when all you feel is sufferin' heartache

[Verse 2]

          Cm7                 Dm7    G7
I'm goin' down to that lonely corner
         Cm7                       G7
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
             Cm7                    Dm7   G7
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
         Cm7                             G7                 G
And tell her what I know of love; What I know, it always so sweet


[Chorus]

Cm7                    F7
Love is a perfect imperfection
            Cm7              F7  G7
Sometimes a happy, sometimes sad
Cm7                      F7
Whenever love comes your direction
           Cm7                 G7
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide


[Chorus]

Cm7                     F7
Love is a perfect imperfection
            Cm7              F7  G7
Sometimes a happy, sometimes sad
Cm7                      F7
Whenever love comes your direction
           Cm7                 G7
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide


[Outro]

Cm7 G7           Cm7  G7  G
       Don't you hide
