[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#7
But 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#7
But care, I care, I care
[Verse 1]
G Em9
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
A F#m7 F#7
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
G Em9
The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
A F#m7 F#7
Happiness or flashiness, how do you serve the question?
G Em9
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
A A#dim
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
Bm7 Em6
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
C#m7 F#m7 F#7
I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make amend, I understand
[Verse 2]
G Em9
I ain't perfect, I probably won't come around
A F#m7
This time I might put you down, last time I ain't give a fuck
F#7 G Em9
I still feel the same now, my feelings might go numb
A F#m7 F# G
You're dealing with cold thumb, I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
Em9 A A#dim
Pity 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#7
But 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 A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7 F#7 G Em9 A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#dim Bm Em6 C#m7 F#m7 F#7
Maybe I wasn’t
[Verse 3]
G Em9
Now in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
A F#m7 F#7
Cold as December but never remember what winter did
G Em9
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
A F#m7 F#7
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
G Em9
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
A A#dim
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
Bm7 Em6
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
C#m7 F#m7 F#7
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
[Verse 4]
G Em9
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
A F#m7 F#7
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
G Em9
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
A F#m7 F#7
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
G Em9
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
A A#dim
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
Bm7 Em6
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
C#m7 F#m7 F#7
Just 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#7
But 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#7
But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
