tim minchin – not perfect

A
this is my earth

E
and i live in it

D
it’s one third dirt

Dm
and two thirds water

A
and it rotates and revolves through space

A7
at rather an impressive pace

D Dm A
and never even messes up my hair

F#m sus4 F#m
and here’s the really weird thing

B sus4 B
the force created by its spin

D A E
is the force that stops the chaos flooding in

F#m sus4 F#m
this is my earth

D6 D
and it’s fine

E C# F#m F#m/Bflat
it’s where i spend the vast majority of my time

Bm D
it’s not perfect

A A/E
but it’s mine

Bm D ( D – D – D – A – D – A8 )
it’s not perfect
