        Bb6
Well, I know what it is but I don't know

         F
Where it is, where it is

         Bb6
Well, I know where it is but I don't know

        F
What it looks like, what it looks like

         Bb6
Well, I know what it looks like but I don't know

          F
Where she comes from

         Bb6
Well, I know where she comes from but I don't know

           F
What's her name
[Chorus]
              Am         Bb
And she said: "This is a perfect world

Am                Bb
 I'm riding on an incline

Bbm             F
 I'm staring in your face

Bb6                Db6
 You'll photograph mine"

              Bb6
And I've been walking, talking

                              F
Believing the things that are true

              Bb6
And I've been finding the difference between right and wrong

        F
Bad and good

       Bb6
See me put things together

                           F
Put them back where they belong

       Bb6
When I look at each other [?]

       Bb6                          F
Have I always been singing the same song
[Chorus]
          Am         Bb
She said: "This is a perfect world

Am                Bb
 I'm riding on an incline

Bbm             F
 I'm staring in your face

Bb6                Db6
 You'll photograph mine"

  (scat vocals) Somebody said that it happens all over the world

| Bb6 | Bb6                     F
         I do believe that it's true

        Bb6
And the sun's coming up

                                       F
And we're doing all the things that we should, a-a-ha

        Bb6                                     F
Doesn't everybody here believe in the things we do? A-a-ha
