[Dm] Got a pen and a napkin
Name a number you [Bb]want

Plumbing the same dive bars

From the street view car

[Dm] If you're up and down
If you're down and out[Bb]out

Pluck my heart from [Gm]me
And I'm still sleep as [Bb]sound

[Bb] And the bastards, they will talk[Gm]talk
But not a word on[F]on you

'Fore the hemlock does[Bb]does
Strangers know who's [Gm]built
To stomach hoping for[Dm]for
Verse 4:
If you've broken down
If you're rolling out[Bb]out
I'm your frozen [Gm]sweat
Your smirking sense of doubt
[Dm] Fill the world you spilled
From tit to teeth you're numb[Bb]numb
Leaking smiles from a [Gm]gasket
Slipped around your [Dm]tongue
Chorus:
[Bb] And the bastards, they will talk[Gm]talk
But not a word on[F]on you
My perfect[A]perfect blue, whoa
[Bb] You can take me as you are[Gm]are
I'm going down with[F]with you
My perfect[A]perfect blue, whoa
