[Opening]
[A] [E] [Bm] [D]
I can [A]see it in your eyes as I’m stumbling home
You’re [E]living with a man that you no longer know
You forgot to [Bm]smile, as I passed you [D]by
Now we’re [A]sitting down for dinner we got nothing to say
It’s like [E]I am watching you slowly slipping away
From [Bm]me, from [D]me, remember when I [A]used to make you laugh?
And every joke was [E]better than the last?
Tell me how [Bm]to bring you back to this
Maybe I just [D]need to reminisce, and work it [A]out
[chorus]
What happened to [E]perfect? What happened to [Bm]us?
We used to be [D]worth it, we never gave [A]up
It wasn’t on [E]purpose, but hurts like it [Bm]was
Nobody deserves [D]this, what happened to [A]perfect?
[verse 2]
[A] [E] [Bm] [D]
If you [A]left me baby where would you go? I can’t [E]imagine you ever being alone
I am a [Bm]jealous man, but I’ll try to [D]understand
So many [A]things to say, I don’t know where to start
I [E]can’t pick up the pieces of a crumbling heart
So [Bm]true, so [D]true, remember when I [A]used to make you laugh?
And every joke was [E]better than the last?
Tell me how to [Bm]bring you back to this
Maybe I just [D]need to reminisce, and work it [A]out
[chorus]
What [A]happened to [E]perfect? What happened to [Bm]us?
We used to be [D]worth it, we never gave [A]up
It wasn’t on [E]purpose, but hurts like it [Bm]was
Nobody deserves [D]this, what happened to [A]perfect?
[E]What happened to [Bm]perfect? [D] [A]
[verse 3]
[A]What’s under the [E]surface? It used to be [Bm]love
Would you call if you [D]heard this? Would you know it was [A]us?
It wasn’t on [E]purpose, but hurts like it [Bm]was
Nobody deserves [D]this, what happened to [A]perfect? [E]
Nobody deserves [Bm]this [D]
[Closing]
I can [A]see it in your eyes as I’m stumbling home
You’re [E]living with a man you no longer know
You forgot to [Bm]smile
