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      Gbm7     Gb7 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                    Gbm7 Gb7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em9         A      Bbdim 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     Dbm7  Gbm7 Gb7
But care, I care, I care
Verse 1
G                            Em9     
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
A                              Gbm7                Gb7 
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
    G                                 Em9   
The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
A                            Gbm7             Gb7 
Happiness or flashiness, how do you serve the question?
G                                     Em9     
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
        A                               Bbdim
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
        Bm7                          Em6
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
         Dbm7                           Gbm7          Gb7 
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                               Gbm7              
This time I might put you down, last time I ain't give a fuck
  Gb7            G                           Em9   
I still feel the same now, my feelings might go numb
                    A                               Gbm7         Gb           G   
You're dealing with cold thumb, I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
             Em9                             A                              Bbdim
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
Dbm7                           Gbm7              Gb7
     I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
Chorus 2
G  Em9         A      Gbm7     Gb7 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                    Gbm7 Gb7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em9         A      Bbdim 
  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
Gbm7    Gb7    G     Em9    A         
Maybe I wasn’t there
Gbm7    Gb7    G     Em9    A         
Maybe I wasn’t there
Bbdim          Bm    Em6    Dbm7    Gbm7   Gb7
Maybe I wasn’t
Verse 3
    G                              Em9     
Now in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
A                            Gbm7        Gb7
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                                     Gbm7         Gb7
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
G                           Em9     
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
A                            Bbdim
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
  Bm7                                Em6
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
    Dbm7                         Gbm7        Gb7
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
Verse 4
G                     Em9     
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
  A                      Gbm7          Gb7
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
G                       Em9     
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
A                    Gbm7      Gb7
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
     G                               Em9     
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
            A                            Bbdim
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
        Dbm7                        Gbm7      Gb7
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world
Chorus 3
G  Em9         A      Gbm7     Gb7 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                    Gbm7 Gb7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em9         A      Bbdim 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     Dbm7  Gbm7 Gb7
But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
               G     Em9    A        
Maybe I wasn’t there
Gbm7    Gb7    G     Em9    A         
Maybe I wasn’t there
Gbm7    Gb7    G     Em9    A         
Maybe I wasn’t there
