B C Em C

Em                               C
Baby, I’ve been feeling a bit on edge
Em                            C
Lately, I’ve been careless at making bets
D
Living in a world where it’s always Monday
   Em
One AM and dark, and it’s always pouring
                   Am
Where you can feel the weight of a new day rising
            D
By the neon furies of advertising
C                           Em
But baby, we’re not here to stay

Chorus:
C                 D     Em                     D
So hey, hey, hey, hush, don’t be crying now, hear
C            Am          Em
ʼCos any day fortune may wander down, dear
               Am
And we can see a world that is milk and honey
             G
The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
Em            Am
There’s always a promise of a silver lining
             D
There’s that elation of perfect timing
C
In a perfect world…

Em                            C
Baby, I can see through their idle threats
  Em                       C
So easy I can walk through their bayonets
    D
But even still I can stumble and fall
              Em
And every step I miss, it still takes its toll
        Am
Even if I wise up there’s always a price
            D
Serenity betrays and troubles arise
C                               Em
But baby, they’re not here to stay

Chorus:
C                 D     Em                      D
So hey, hey, hey, hush, don’t be crying now, hear
C            Am          Em
ʼCos any day fortune may wander down, dear
               Am
And we can see a world that is milk and honey
             G
The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
Em            Am
There’s always a promise of a silver lining
             D
There’s that elation of perfect timing
C                                   Em G
In a perfect world we’d know just why
B                           C
In a perfect world we would never lie
B                             Em
In a perfect world there’d be no reason to cry
B
In a perfect world
        C
In a perfect world
B                             Em
In a perfect world we’d never die

C                 D     Em                       D
So hey, hey, hey, hush, don’t be crying now, hear
C            Am          Em
ʼCos any day fortune may wander down, dear
               Am
And we can see a world that is milk and honey
             G
The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey
Em            Am
There’s always a promise of a silver lining
             D
There’s that elation of perfect timing
C               Em G Em G Em C Em G
In a perfect world…
