Capo 1st fret
[Verse 1]
G
She is a Polaroid
G
Myrtle beach for 2 months
G
She is a sun bleached umbrella
G
Who slept in the sand with you once
G
She is a light packer
G
A daiquiri and a damn good dancer
G
She‘s Grace Kelly with a sunburn
G
Who knows where she is now
[Chorus]

The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know

The one who never wilts in a vase, just stays a grocery store rose

No one can walk on water like the memory of an almost
G D Em7
The only perfect lover is the one, the one, the one
N.C.
You never get to know
[Verse 2]
G
You were younger then
G
Outrunning waves to show off
G
I swear I can hear your laugh
G
Mocking how the sea gulls talked
G
And you took a bunch of pictures

You’ve lost since then but you don’t forget her
G
Or that snippet that she showed you, who knows who she is now
[Chorus]

C
When you look at me
D
Do you see dishes in the sink
G D Em
Do you see couples therapy and a long, long road
C
When you look at me
D
Do you see a promise
G D
God forbid some what ifs
Em G
And a long, long road
[Chorus]
C D
The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know
G D Em
The one who never wilts in a vase, just stays a grocery store rose
