Capo: 5th fret
[Verse 1]
F C/G
I'm so scared of falling
G Am7 C/G
I was in and out, up and down, too afraid to be open
F C/G G
I found myself in you and it made me feel so fucking scared
F C/G
'Cause, when I am open
G Am7 C/G
All my past and all my pain floats up to the surface
F C/G G
You can even cut me down with a smile, it hurts so bad
So I leave
[Pre-Chorus]
C/G Am7 G
when it gets too good, yeahyeah
C/G Am7
I leave when it gets too good
G
But
[Chorus]
F C/G
In a perfect world, I am here with you
G Am7
And I kiss you slow in a dimlit room
F C/G
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
G
I'm not running from my problems
Am7
And I'm not running from you
F C/G
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
G
I'm not looking for an escape
Am7 F
All 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
C/G G Am7
Ooh, in a perfect world
[Verse 2]
F C/G G
Yeah, at least you're selfaware, I'll give you some credit
Am7 C/G F
But walking out on something perfect's really stupid, yeah
Baby, I said it
C/G G
You're so scared of regretting something
Before you can even regret it
F C/G G Am7 C/G
And we could be great, and it would be great if you'd let it, uh
But you leave
[Pre-Chorus]
F C/G G
when it gets too good, yeahyeah
C/G Am7
You leave when it gets too good
G
But
[Chorus]
C/G Am7
In a perfect world, I am here with you
G
And I kiss you slow in a dimlit room
F C/G
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
G
I'm not running from my problems
Am7
And I'm not running from you
F C/G
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
G
I'm not looking for an escape
Am7 F
All 'cause I'm scared I might lose you
C/G G
Ooh, in a perfect world
Am7
I leave
[Post-Chorus]
F C/G G
when it gets too good
Am7
When it gets too good,
C/G F C/G G
You always leave when it gets too good
Am7 C/G
Oh but
[Outro]
F C/G
In a perfect world, there's just us two
G Am7 C/G
And I let myself get lost in you
F C/G
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
G
I'm not running from my problems
Am7 C/G
And I'm not running from you
I'm so scared of falling, I was
In and out, up and down, too afraid to be open
I found myself in you, and it made me feel so fucking scared
'Cause, when I am open
All my past and all my pain floats up to the surface
You can even cut me down with a smile, it hurts so bad
So, I leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
I leave when it gets too good, but
In a perfect world, I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim-lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause
I'm scared I might lose you
Oh, in a perfect world
Yeah, at least you're self-aware, I'll give you some credit
But walking out on something perfect's really stupid, yeah
Baby, I said it, you're so scared of regretting something
Before you can even regret it
And we could be great, and it would be great if you'd let it
Oh
But you leave when it gets too good, yeah-yeah
You (I) leave when it gets too good
In a perfect world, I am here with you
And I kiss you slow in a dim lit room
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
And we're so damn happy, and I'm not confused
I'm not looking for an escape all 'cause
I'm scared I might lose you
Ooh, in a perfect world
I leave when it gets too good
(When it gets too good, you'll always)
Leave (leave) when it gets too good
Oh, but in a perfect world, there's just us two
And I let myself get lost in you
When you ask me if I love you, I say, "I do"
I'm not running from my problems, and I'm not running from you
