[Intro]
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and
[Chorus 1]
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7 Me, I wasn't taught to share
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7But care, in another life, I surely was there
G Em9 A A#dim Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7 Em6 C#m7 F#m7 F#7But care, I care, I care
[Verse 1]
G Em9Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
A F#m7 F#7Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
G Em9The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
A F#m7 F#7Happiness or flashiness, how Do you serve the question?
G Em9See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
A A#dimI don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
Bm7 Em6I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
C#m7 F#m7 F#7I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make amend, I understand
[Verse 2]
G Em9I ain't perfect, I probably won't come around
A F#m7This time I might put you down, last time I ain't give a fuck
F#7 G Em9I still feel the same now, my feelings might Go numb
A F#m7 F# GYou're dealing with cold thumb, I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
Em9 A A#dimPity parties and functions and you and yours, a perfect world, you probably live another 24
Bm7 Em6 I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
C#m7 F#m7 F#7 I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
[Chorus 2]
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7 Me, I wasn't taught to share
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7But care, in another life, I surely was there
G Em9 A A#dim Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7 Em6 N.C.But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
G Em9 AMaybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 AMaybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 AMaybe I wasn’t there
A#dim Bm Em6 C#m7 F#m7 F#7Maybe I wasn’t
[Verse 3]
G Em9Now in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
A F#m7 F#7Cold as December but never remember what winter did
G Em9I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
A F#m7 F#7Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
G Em9Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
A A#dimIndigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
Bm7 Em6I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
C#m7 F#m7 F#7The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
[Verse 4]
G Em9Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
A F#m7 F#7A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
G Em9Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
A F#m7 F#7Race barriers make inferior of you and I
G Em9See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
A A#dimI'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
Bm7 Em6I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
C#m7 F#m7 F#7Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world
[Chorus 3]
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7 Me, I wasn't taught to share
G Em9 A F#m7 F#7But care, in another life, I surely was there
G Em9 A A#dim Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7 Em6 C#m7 F#m7 F#7But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
G Em9 AMaybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 AMaybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 AMaybe I wasn’t there
