As recorded by Gavin Adcock (2025 release) [Intro] C Am C Am C [Verse 1]
C
My best foot forward is stumbling at best

               Am        C
Don’t hold the cards too close to the vest

F                                             C   Am C
I’ll take the high road even if it ain’t that cool
[Verse 2]
C
Dodged a few Sundays that offering plate

                     Am            C
By the time I get to sorry, it’s a little too late

  F                                          C     Am C
I earned more from my mistakes than I did in school

         Am               G                  F
And I’ve gambled it all a thousand times and often come up short
[Chorus]
      C
But I know I don’t win I oughta give a damn

    F
And I show up with only half a plan

       Am                  G
That’s who I ain’t, that’s who I am

            F                          C
But there’s only ever been one perfect man
[Verse 3]
C
I’ve ruffled up some feathers on a few birds

                Am      C
I’ve missed the mark on a couple red words

     F
I’ve cussed, I’ve prayed, I’ve walked, I’ve stayed

    G
But one thing’s for certain at the end of the day
[Chorus]
  C
I know I don’t win I oughta give a damn

    F
And I show up with only half a plan

       Am                  G
That’s who I ain’t, that’s who I am

            F                          C
But there’s only ever been one perfect man
[Instrumental Break] C F [Bridge]
    Am                    G
The more I live, the more I wanna be

         F
A little more like him and less like me
[Chorus]
  C
I know I don’t win I oughta give a damn

    F
And I show up with only half a plan

       Am                  G
That’s who I ain’t, that’s who I am

            F                          C
But there’s only ever been one perfect man

C
Perfect man
