[Verso 1]C F G F
I took a walk in a small town Sunday morning
C F G C
Just to see what was going on
C F G F
Sat watching two guys fishing in the river running through
C F G C
Like there was nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Am F
They had their lines in the water ten feet apart
Am F
Beer guts, t-shirts, me with my heavy heart
Am F
I don't have religion but I'm trying to pray
Am F G
And I never liked fishing but I wanted to stand up and say
C F G F C F G F
Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change, don't ever change
C F G F C F G C
Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change
[Verso 2]C F G F
I picked my daughter up at school last week
C F G C
She had her headphones on, she barely said hello
C F G F
And all I wanted was to hug her, smother her with kisses
C F G C
But I was cool, like “Hi there, how did it go?”
Am F
She had chipped nail polish, writing on her hand
Am F
She was nodding her head to her favorite band
Am F
Staring into space like she was all alone
Am F G
But I didn't take it personal, it meant that I was home and I said
C F G F C F G F
Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change, don't ever change
C F G F C F G C
Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change don't ever change
[Ponte]Em Am F
I'm holding on to everything that's good in this world
G
There's a lot that's good in this world
C F G F C F G C
[Verso 3]C F G F
I saw my baby sitting there at the breakfast table
C F G C
His hair a mess and he forgot to shave
C F G F
And I wished that he would get up, make it all better
C F G C
Stop drinking so much, learn how to behave
Am F
Then the radio was playing a Chuck Berry song
Am F
And he was looking at me asking what was wrong
Am F
I made a list of the things I could say
Am F G
But he gave me a wink and it all went away, I told him
C F G F C F G F
Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change, don't ever change
C F G F C F G C
Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change don't ever change
