Tim Minchin – Not Perfect (Guitar)

Dsus2/A  x00230
F#7      242322 (F#7/A# in the original)

            A          E
This is my earth and I live in it

     D                  Dm
It’s one third dirt and two thirds water

       A
And it rotates and revolves through space

    A7
At rather an impressive pace

D                Dm           A
  And never even messes up my hair

    F#m
And here’s the really weird thing

    Bsus4         B
The force created by its spin

       D                    A              E
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in

        Bsus2   A6sus2       Dsus2/B  Dsus2/A
This is my Earth .. and it’s fine

     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

     F#7 Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine

         Bm Bm11/A  D*
It’s not perfect

           A             E
This is my country and I live in it

     D              Dm
It’s pretty big and nice to walk on 

        A
And the bloke who runs my country

    A7
Has built a demagoguery

D                     Dm             A
  And taught us to be fearful and boring

        F#m
And the weirdest thing is that he is

   Bsus4        B
Conservative of politics

    D             A             E
But really rather radical of eyebrow

        Bsus2     A6sus2       Dsus2/B  Dsus2/A
This is my country .. and it’s fine

     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

     F#7 Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine

         Bm Bm11/A  D*
It’s not perfect

           A           C#
This is my house and I live in it

     D                  Dm
It’s made of cracks and photographs

   A                               A7
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy

                     D
Who bought it from a guy

              Dm           A
Whose grandad left it to him

        F#m
And the weirdest thing is that this house

    Bsus4             B
Has locks to keep the baddies out

            D              A             E
But they’re mostly used to lock ourselves in

        Bsus2   A6sus2       Dsus2/B  Dsus2/A
This is my house .. and it’s fine

     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

     F#7 Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine

         Bm    Bm11/A        G*
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine

           A          E
This is my body and I live in it

     D      Dm
It’s 31 and 6 months old

     A
It’s changed a lot since it was new

     A7
It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to do

D                Dm              A
  I often try to fill it up with wine

        F#m
And the weirdest thing about it is

  Bsus4              B
I spend so much time hating it

       D            A           E
But it never says a bad word about me

        Bsus2   A6sus2      Dsus2/B  Dsus2/A
This is my body .. and it’s fine

     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

     F#7 Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine

         Bm Bm11/A  D*
It’s not perfect

           A           C#
This is my brain and I live in it

     D                Dm
It’s made of love and bad song lyrics

     A
It’s tucked away behind my eyes

      A7
Where all my fucked up thoughts can hide

D                  Dm          A
  Cos God forbid I hurt somebody

        F#m
And the weirdest thing about a mind

        Bsus4        B
Is that every answer that you find

       D          A             E
Is the basis of a brand new cliché

        Bsus2   A6sus2       Dsus2/B  Dsus2/A
This is my brain .. and it’s fine

     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time

     F#7 Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine

         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine

         Bm Bm11/A
It’s not perfect

    A                                     Bm Bm11/A  A
I’m not quite sure I’ve worked out how to work it

         Bm    Bm11/A        G*
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine

    G*
