Perfect Blue

Intro 

F F Bb Gm 
F F Bb Gm 



F 
Got a pen & a napkin 
F 
Name a number you want 
Bb 
Wish I knew all the maths 
Gm 
To figure out hard sums 

F 
Haven’t seen you in weeks 
F 
Plumbing the same dive bars 
Bb 
With the prettiest patrons 
Gm 
From the street view car 



F 
If you’re up & down 
F 
If you’re down & out 
Bb 
I can be your lifeline 
Gm 
You can throw me out 
F 
If your love runs dry 
F 
I can go without 
Bb 
Pluck my heart from me 
Gm                   F5 F5 
& I’d still sleep as sound 


Bb 
                         Gm 
& the bastard’s they will talk 
                  F 
But not a word on you 
           A 
My perfect blue 
Bb 
                       Gm 
You can take me as you are 
                    F 
I’m going down with you 
           A 
My perfect blue Oh Oh Oh



F 
Waiting for the rapture, hear a car alarm 
Bb 
Boredom’s coming at you 
Gm 
It won’t be too long 
F 
You know the waiting kills you 
F 
‘fore the hemlock does 
Bb 
Strangers know who’s built 
Gm 
To stomach hoping for 



F 
If you’ve broken down 
F 
If you’re rolling out 
Bb 
I’m your frozen sweat 
Gm 
Your smirking sense of doubt 
F 
Fill the world you spilled 
F 
From tit to teeth you’re numb 
Bb 
Leaking smiles from a gasket 
Gm                  F5 F5 
Slipped around your tongue 



Bb 
                          Gm 
& the bastard’s they will talk 
                  F 
But not a word on you 
           A 
My perfect blue 

Bb 
                       Gm 
You can take me as you are 
                    F 
I’m going down with you 
           A 
My perfect blue 

Outro 

Bb 
I’m afraid I broke a string 
Dm       A 
& so now I must be leaving 
Bb 
It’s a shame we couldn’t finish this 
Dm        A 
With some wine some Sunday evening 
Bb 
I hope you will remember 
Dm     A 
Oh, to stay just a Monday more 

Bb5   A5 Gm 
But don’t try this at home 
Bb5   A5 Gm 
Don’t try this at home 
Bb5    A5 Gm 
I said don’t try this at home
