[Intro]
D Em D Em
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 Em We get to be a ripple in the water Dmaj7 Em We get to be a rock that’s thrown Dmaj7 Em We get to be a boy on the bridge Dmaj7 Em Standing over the reservoir
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 Em I see the water lap along the shoreline Dmaj7 Em The buried forest of a man-made lake Dmaj7 Em The cemeteries are laying underneath it Dmaj7 Em Your heart like a dam when it breaks
[Chorus]
D C We are floating, we are swimming G And in this moment we are forgetting D C What it costs, what it takes G For one perfect world N.C. D Em7 D Em7 When we look the other way
[Verse 3]
D Em7 I’m okay if I don’t look a little closer Em (I am driving with the tank full) D Em7 I’m okay if I don’t see beyond the shore Em7 (The sun is blistering the black top road) D Em7 I’m okay if I don’t have to do the killing Em7 (We are talking, cellular and mobile) D Em7 Or know what the killing is for Em7 (As if it’s some kind of cure for this world of woe)
[Chorus]
D C We are talking, we are driving G And in this moment we are denying D C What it costs, what it takes G For one perfect world D When we look the other way
[Post-Chorus]
Em7 A D It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) D When we look the other way Em7 A D It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) D When we look the other way Em7 A D Em7 D Em7 It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Yeah)
[Verse 4]
D G If you can’t see beyond the myth of isolation D Em7 And the miracle of daybreak doesn’t move you anymore D G Connect the points and see the constellations D G As the night comes down on the reservoir
[Chorus]
D C We are swimming, we are floating G And in this moment we are beholden D C To what it costs, to what it takes G For one perfect world Em7 Can we learn to live another way?
[Post-Chorus]
A D It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) Em7 Can we learn to live another way? A D It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world (Perfect world) Em7 Can we learn to live another way? A D It’s one (Perfect world) perfect world Em7 D Em It's one perfect world
[Outro]
D Em D Em G D We get to be a ripple in the water
