Not A Perfect Day

Capo on 2nd fret

intro:

Well I saw her in a limousine

she smiled and hugged a man so tight

I stood there like a fool

Dm G C

and she was out of sight

She was lovely like a summer rose

I wanted her oh, so, near

but out from what I fear

Dm G C

that dream is gone and clear

Am C

and it's not a perfect day for love

Am F G C

no it's not a perfect day for loving her

Am G G7

it's no perfect day for love

F G C

but I wish I could hold her once again

Oh darling can't you see

I'm crying oh I'm crying hard

You stole my heart I know

Dm G C

please let's move back to start

I want you how I need you

I'm begging on my bended knees

F Dm G C

but I'm writing butter and life is not romantic

Am C

and it's not a perfect day for love

Am F G C

no it's not a perfect day for loving her

Am G G7

it's no perfect day for love

F G C

but I wish I could hold her once again

F G C

Yes, I wish I could hold her once a gain

F G Cmaj7

Yes, I wish I could hold her once again

capo may not be neccesary, but it sounds like it is used on the record
