Our Perfect Disease

Key: F#mHard

F#m

F#mWe don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye,

Amy heartbeat's moaning and Bmyours is making money

F#mIt's always a shock when old friends pass by,

Abut with you it's no Bmdeath in the family

F#mLet's not talk about hate when there's hell to pay

Afor my cowardness and Bmyour bad timing

F#mWe don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye,

Aand it's not through aBm lack of trying

F#mABm

F#mABmE

It was the perfect diDsease we had,

something to argAue and screamC about

And you will see about contDracting back,

and locking it somAewhere it can't get ripCped out

It was the perfect disDease we had,

and it hits usA like a painfuCl fact D

We all need Dmsomeone to drive us mF#mad

Post chorus:

F#mOoh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh oohA ooh oh,C wooh

F#mI didn't say it but you never were the honest type,

Ayou tried to fabricate aBm bed-time story

F#mAnd now I miss those games we had of Jekyll and Hyde,

Aever since the day that we Bmparted company

F#mDon't send a helping hand I need a farrowing ram,

Ato feed the reasons that I mBmiss you so sorely

F#mI didn't say it but we never saw eye to eye,

Anow I can't bear it when equaBmlly is boring

It was the perfect diDsease we had,

and it hits usA like a painfuCl fact D

We all need Dmsomeone to Cdrive us maF#md

Post chorus:

F#mOoh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh oohA ooh oh,C wooh

F#mI need you in the TV, I need you on the traAin, IC need you every single which way

F#mI need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bAed,C I need you to wreck my head

F#mI need you in the TV, I need you on the traAin, IC need you just to stand in my way

F#mI need you in the mirrors, I need you in my beEd

It was the perfect diDsease we had,

something to aArgue and screCam about

And you will see about contDracting back,

BWe feel nothing so C#mjump into the fAog C#m E

BWhat a great aC#mchievement it was, tEo find someone who shirks such little self-restraint

BI'm a non beliC#mever but I believeE in these dirty little wicked games

BSnakes and ladders abanC#mdoned here love, tEhe climb's too rough to slide back down again

Wired Differently

Key: CMedium

CSome like to go

To TenerFife for at least a week

Buy the GAtoll package and fliCrt with sFtrangers out at the beach

SoGme stay at hCome

And hammer their Finsides just because

Loosen Gup now, Choney

We're a Dmmatch made in hell

They're a roll of the dice

He's not coming out the closet

She'd try anything twice

And nCobody's pGerfectC

FNobody's perfect

Though Gsome, some pCeople get Fclose

Some people get Cclose

Close eFnough for cigars and jazz

I'm so far remoGved

I can't see the tFrees for the broken plants Dm G

Come hop abCoard

The tragicFal misery tour

And loosen Gup now, honey

Who cCares if Dmshe likes the girls

Or if he likes the boys

Or why they like to judge

Or why some just use toys

When nCobody's pGerfecCt

FNobody's perfect

Though sGome, some pAmeople get Fclose

Some people get cAmlose G C F

And I think you should kAmnow C G C F

FI think you should know

That laGst nFight I drunk dialled a friend of a friend

And went sDmmoking inside petrol stations again

Gets me oCff

It really gets me oGff C

Now anxFiety's serving us drinks at the bar

We're two Dmtreehuggers trapped in a muscle car

That's Cenough for me,

That's Genough

GOh, but if that storm comes in the bottle, let's meet

Don't go sFpilling your guts out on Harley street

Cos nCobody's GperfCect

FNobody's perfect

Though sGome, some peCople get Fclose C

Don't tell me I'm Cflawed
