[N]
This is a song about people who always tell you they can do things better than you can do them,
or easier than you can do them, or cheaper than you can do them,
or if you're a man for longer than you can [A] do it.
[G] It's a song called The Perfect Time.
I could never say anything that you [F#m] don't already know
[D]
You've been there and you've done it before
[E] You've been higher than I'll ever go
I always stood in the corner
[F#m]
Waiting for the perfect time
You [D] always walked with your head held high
[F#] Like you were born [E] to be first in [A] line
And I could never convince myself
[F#m] I could do better than you do
If [D] I had slept with your best friend's girl
You [F#] would have slept [E] with her mother [E] too
And every day you believe that you've got [C#] nothing left to [F#m] learn
And you [Bm] do, and [D] you do, [E] and you [E] do
They used to say I could move real fast
[F#m] You were one step ahead of me
If [D] I could make it in record time
You would [A] be home [E] before I leave
If I had proof of an afterlife
You [F#m] would have been there weeks before
You [D] would have photos and autographs
And [E] a spare key to heaven's door
And every day you believe [B] that you've [C#] got nothing left [F#m] to learn
[Bm] And you do, and you [D] do, and [E] you do
When I was searching for the meaning of life
You [F#m] said the answer was 42
[D] If I could march like Napoleon
We [A] would be meeting [E] at [A]
Waterloo
And [Em] every day you believe [B] that you've [C#m] got nothing left [F#m] to learn
[Bm] And you do, and [D] you do, [E] and you do
And [Bm] you do, and [D] you do, [E] and you [E] do
And [Bm] you do, and you do, [E] and you do
Thank [N]
