Front Porch Step - Perfect Man

      [Verse 1]
F       Am          G
Keep your lips away from me.
F       Am          G
I don't want to feel your touch.
F       Am          G
'Cause your heart is lacking truth,
Dm      Gm          F
And your words don't come from love.
F       Am          G
I'd say mess with someone else,
F       Am          G
That's not something that you need.
F       Am          G
'Cause your soul is bent for hell,
Dm      Gm          F
And your heart has been diseased.

[Chorus]
Am                  Em   
I know that I'm not perfect,
               F
But I'm far from worthless.
                   C              G
You'll need more than curves to make me care.
Am                    Em
You're trying to control me.
              F
Bringing up the old me.
                C              G
Honey we both know that's not fair.
Am       Em             F          C    G
You just made a perfect man inside your mind
           Am
And you got mad
Em             F
When I could not compare.

[Verse 2]
F       Am          G
There is blood stains on my clothes,
F       Am          G
But it don't come from my wrist.
F       Am          G
It just trickles down my nose,
Dm       Gm        F
When I think about your kiss.

[Chorus]
Am                  Em   
Baby, I know that I'm not perfect,
               F
But I'm far from worthless.
                   C              G
You'll need more than curves to make me care.
Am                    Em
You're trying to control me.
              F
Bringing up the old me.
                C              G
Honey we both know that's not fair.
Am       Em             F          C    G
You just made a perfect man inside your mind
           Am
And you got mad
Em              F
When I could not compare.

[Bridge]
C    Em     Am     F
We can never be together,
C    Em     Am     F
'Cause you'll never understand
C    Em     Am     F
That I am not less human
C    Em     Am     F
'Cause I'm not a perfect man.
F              G
I am not a perfect man.

[Chorus]
Am                  Em   
Baby, I know that I'm not perfect,
               F
But I'm far from worthless.
                   C              G
You'll need more than curves to make me care.
Am                    Em
You're trying to control me.
              F
Bringing up the old me.
                C              G
Honey we both know that's not fair.

Am                  Em   
Baby, I know that I'm not perfect,
               F
But I'm far from worthless.
                   C              G
You'll need more than curves to make me care.
Am                    Em
You're trying to control me.
              F
Bringing up the old me.
                C              G
Honey we both know that's not fair.
Am       Em             F          C    G
You just made a perfect man inside your mind
           Am
And you got mad
Em              F
When I could not compare.

[Outro]
C         Em          Am           F
You just made a perfect man inside your mind
C         Em          Am           F
You just made a perfect man inside your mind
