          D#
I made a critical
   A#         F
mistake in a momentary
Gm        D#      A# F Gm
lapse of judgement
            D#
Now you've called me
     A#        F
up again to remind
           Gm
me of the ways
      D#      A# F Gm
I've fucked up
        D#
So then I'll
              A#
take all the blame
   F
It all just feels
     Gm          D#
the same And we move
  A# F Gm         D#
on       Then I screw
       A#
it up again Are you
 F          Gm
noticing a trend Should
  D#    A# F Gm
I go on?       So I said

Chorus:
D#      A#        F
I could be everything
     Gm      D#
you need If you could
 A#          F
learn to be someone
Gm   D#       A#
else I could try and
 F          Gm
abridge the distance
D#        A#
You'd be thinking
  F        Gm  D# A#
about yourself
         Gm
It's the way you
 F
want the world
   D# A#
to be   It's
    Gm       F
the way you want
the world to be

I'm the sinner, you're a saint
You will always have your way
Will you let go?
But when a cynic and a snake come together
It could take a miracle
But it only lasts so long
I know it won't be long 'till I screw up
Can we start it all again
And go back to when we were both wrong?
'Cause we're both wrong
So I said

Chorus

       D#
And it always seemed
    Dm
too perfect to be
Gm
true There's nothing
 F
perfect about me and
D#         A# 
you And I tried to
        Gm
see the best But I
             F
saw right through you
       D#
And I know I could be
 A#            Gm
better But you won't
           F
let me forget That
   D#
it always seemed so
 A#             Gm
perfect when I played
          F
it in my head

You made a critical mistake in
a momentary lapse of judgement
Now I'm walking out the door
Like all those times before
Guess I fucked up
So I said

Chorus

D#      A#       Gm
I could be everything
     F       D#
you need If you could
A#           Gm     F
learn to be someone else
