INTRO
2x D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A 
D D6sus4 G       A           D 
Nobody's perfect, and that's something
        D6sus4  G      A 
that I'm sure   she'll know
      D                  D6sus4        G        A 
Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times
        F#                        G   G9 
is like trying to divide ice from snow
D          D6sus4      G   A   D            D6sus4 
And when I knew it was over, I jumped into a taxi
          G             A 
And said "Guess were to go"
        D             D6sus4 
And the driver turned about and said,
 G                A 
"Finding what you want is like
F#                        G    G9 
Trying to divide ice from snow"
   A      A9   G               G9 
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
        A 
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4       G      G9 
That I never guessed
         D    D9sus4    D6sus4 
But from this side  of  morning
  G             A    A7 A6sus4  A             D    D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A 
I couldn't care less,        I  couldn't care less.
D D6sus4 G       A 
Nobody's helpless, although
    D      D6sus4    G          A 
I've never felt this helpless before
    D            D6sus4       G             A 
And trying to persuade myself not to think about her
        F#                            G       G9 
Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour
D        D6sus4       G 
And so I put down the bottle
A           D               D6sus4 
While in my head time is collapsing
        G            A 
And the currents run cold
   D              D6sus4 
So I can curse her memory
    G         A               F# 
But don't try telling me that she was not
                G 
An emerald in a mountain of coal
        G9        F# 
Or that there's a crock of cures for cancer
       G            G9 
At the end of the rainbow.
   A      A9   G               G9 
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
        A 
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4       G      G9 
That I never guessed
         D    D9sus4   D6sus4 
But from this side  of morning
  G             A    A7 A6sus4  A             D    D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A 
I couldn't care less,        I  couldn't care less.
    A                                   G 
And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive
            D 
But will forget
   G 
So take my from this party, driver
A 
put me back to bed
  A                               G              D 
I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead
   G                   A  A9 
So if this taxi is for hire
         G 
I'll get in the back
                 G9                            A A7 A6sus4 A 
Just to tell the friction of the tarmac and the tyres.
D D D6sus4 G A D D6sus4 G A 
D    D6sus4 G      A            D 
So nobody's perfect, and that's something that
    D6sus4 G       A 
I'm sure    she'll know
    D            D6sus4 
And trying to persuade myself
G             A 
Not to think about her is like
F#                                 G   G9 
Trying to tell the crockels not to crow
        F# 
Or like trying to tell the striker
       G               G9 
Not to think about the goal.
   A      A9   G               G9 
So here I sit, rolling back to bed
        A 
Knowing love is a hazard
D6sus4       G      G9 
That I never guessed
         D    D9sus4   D6sus4 
But from this side  of morning
  G             A    A7 A6sus4  A             D    D6sus4 G A 
I couldn't care less,        I  couldn't care less.
D D6sus4 G A - D
