Past Perfect

Db                              Eb
Back then, there were no others
                          Db
All I knew, true beginners
                                  Eb
We had a gift: the perfect present

No such a thing I'm taught


[Chorus]
               Db
It's tense for me
                    Bb
Can't live within a memory
Proud woman, I dare not come 
    Fm
passively
                            Bbm
Every fella deserves his dignity


[Verse 2]
              Db
Our hurt is older than our hands
                 Eb
It passed from monkey into man
              Bbm
Now, tender hands do heal the hurt
              Eb
Man did fuck up, and then he learnt


[Chorus]
Continues after the ad
                Db
It's tense for me
                      Bbm
Can't live within a memory
Proud woman, I dare not come 
    F
passively
                            Bbm
Every fella deserves his dignity


[Post-Chorus]
               Db
It's tense for me
                              Bbm
Can't keep reliving what is history
Proud woman, now don't go soft on 
Ab
me
                             Eb
Where's that famous old dexterity?
