[Verse]
Em9 GM7sus4/C
Baby, I’ve been feeling a bit on edge
Em9 GM7sus4/C
Lately, I’ve been careless at making bets
Living in a wo
rld where it’s
always Monday
One AM and dar
k, and it’s al
ways pouring
Where you can
feel the weigh
t of a new day
rising
By the neon fu
ries of advert
ising
GM7sus4/C Em9
But baby, we’re not here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
So hey, hey, h
ey, hush, don’
t be crying no
w, hear
'Cos any day f
ortune may wan
der down, dear
[Chorus]
And we can see
a world that
is milk and ho
ney
The tapestry o
f life as a be
autiful journe
y
There’s always
a promise of
a silver linin
g
There’s that e
lation of perf
ect timing
In a perfect w
orld…
[Verse]
Em9 GM7sus4/C
Baby, I can see through their idle threats
Em9 GM7sus4/C
So easy I can walk through their bayonets
But even still
I can stumble
and fall
And every step
I miss, it st
ill takes its
toll
Even if I wise
up there’s al
ways a price
Serenity betra
ys and trouble
s arise
GM7sus4/C Em9
But baby, they’re not here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
So hey, hey, h
ey, hush, don’
t be crying no
w, hear
'Cos any day f
ortune may wan
der down, dear
[Chorus]
And we can see
a world that
is milk and ho
ney
The tapestry o
f life as a be
autiful journe

There’s always
a promise of
a silver linin

There’s that e
lation of perf
ect timing
[Interlude]
In a perfect w
orld we’d know
just why
In a perfect w
orld we would
never lie
In a perfect w
orld there’d b
e no reason to
cry
In a perfect w
orld
In a perfect w
orld
In a perfect w
orld we’d neve
r die
[Pre-Chorus]
