Perfect
[Intro]
Em G Am C
[Verse 1]
Em G
I was fine right before I met her
Am C
Never hurt and nothing could control me
Em G
You know I tried but I can't regret her
Am C
She's the first, ask anyone who knows me
G Em
Terrified that she'd find my heart and break it
Am C
Paralyzed by the thought of her with someone else
[Chorus]
Em G
I wish I would've known
Em Am
I shouldn't have fallen in love with her
C
It's been nothing but trouble till now
G C
I shouldn't have fallen in love at all
C Am
But I couldn't stop myself
D Em
What gives her the right
Em G
To tear up my life?
G C Am
How dare she be so perfect?
C Am
What did I do to deserve this? (woooh)
Em G
Never let her go
C Am
How dare she be so perfect?
Em G Am C
D Em
(You started the fire)
[Verse 2]
Em G
I haven't cried since the day she left me
Am C
Cause' that would mean that I admit it's over
Em G
I tell myself that she's trying to test me
Am C
She'd never leave, she still needs me to hold her
G Em
Horrified cause' she found my heart and broke it
Am C
Mortified when I picture her with someone else
[Chorus]
Em G
I wish I would've known
Em Am
I shouldn't have fallen in love with her
C
It's been nothing but trouble till now
G C
I shouldn't have fallen in love at all

But I couldn't stop myself

To tear up my life?

I was fine right before I met her
Never hurt and nothing could control me
You know I tried but I can't regret her
She's the first, ask anyone who knows me
Terrified that she'd find my heart and break it
Paralyzed by the thought of her with someone else
I wish I would've known
I shouldn't have fallen in love with her
It's been nothing but trouble till now
I shouldn't have fallen in love at all
But I couldn't stop myself
Who gives you the right
To tear up my life?
How dare she be so perfect
What did I do to deserve this? (woooh)
I'll never let her go
How dare she be so perfect
I haven't cried since the day she left me
'Cause that would mean that I admit it's over
I tell myself that she's tryin' to test me
She'd never leave, she still needs me to hold her
Hold her fire 'cause she found my heart and broke it
More than fine when I picture her with someone else
I wish I would've known
I shouldn't have fallen in love with her
It's been nothing but trouble till now
I shouldn't have fallen in love at all
But I couldn't stop myself
Who gives you the right
To tear up my life?
How dare she be so perfect
What did I do to deserve this? (woooh)
I'll never let her go
How dare she be so perfect
Tell me why
The fire burn
It's lately like that
Tell me why
The fire burn
It's lately like that
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, oooh
I shouldn't have fallen in love with her
It's been nothing but trouble till now
I shouldn't have fallen in love at all
But I couldn't stop myself
(I gotta let her go)
Who gives you the right
To tear up my life?
How dare she be so perfect
What did I do to deserve this? (woooh)
(I gotta let her go)
How dare she be so perfect
Tell me why
The fire burn
It's lately like that
Tell me why
The fire burn
It's lately like that
