Capo 5th fret

[Intro]
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed
N.C.
But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
N.C.
And you and you and you and me
N.C.
And you and you and you and me
N.C.
And you and you and you and me

And you and you and you and me and

[Chorus 1]
G  Em         A      F#m     F#
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em  A                    F#m F#
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em         A      A#
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm     Em     C#m  F#m F#
But care, I care, I care

[Verse 1]
G                            Em
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
A                              F#m                F#
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
    G                                 Em
The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
A                            F#m             F#
Happiness or flashiness, how do you serve the question?
G                                     Em
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
        A                               A#
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
        Bm                          Em
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
         C#m                           F#m          F#
I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make amend, I understand

[Verse 2]
  G                               Em
I ain't perfect, I probably won't come around
                  A                               F#m
This time I might put you down, last time I ain't give a f**k
  F#            G                           Em
I still feel the same now, my feelings might go numb
                    A                               F#m         F#           G
You're dealing with cold thumb, I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
             Em                             A                              A#
Pity parties and functions and you and yours, a perfect world, you probably live another 24
Bm                            Em
     I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
C#m                           F#m              F#
     I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

[Chorus 2]
G  Em         A      F#m     F#
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em  A                    F#m F#
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em         A      A#
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm        
But care,
Em    
 I care,
N.C. 
I care

[Refrain]
               G     Em    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m    F#    G     Em    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m    F#    G     Em    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#          Bm    Em    C#m    F#m   F#
Maybe I wasn’t

[Verse 3]
    G                              Em
Now in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
A                            F#m        F#
Cold as December but never remember what winter did
G                                 Em
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
A                                     F#m         F#
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
G                           Em
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
A                            A#
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
  Bm                                Em
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
    C#m                         F#m        F#
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that

[Verse 4]
G                     Em
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
  A                      F#m          F#
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
G                       Em
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
A                    F#m      F#
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
     G                               Em
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
            A                            A#
I'll choose work over b**ches, I'll make schools out of prison
          Bm                           Em
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
        C#m                        F#m      F#
Just to tell 'em we ain't sh*t, but He's been perfect, world

[Chorus 3]
G  Em         A      F#m     F#
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em  A                    F#m F#
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em         A      A#
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm     Em     C#m  F#m F#
But care, I care, I care

[Refrain]
               G     Em    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m    F#    G     Em    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m    F#    G     Em    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#          Bm    Em    C#m    F#m   F#
