The Perfect Crime Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The summer lightning flicks in sheets,
the negative [Em]reveals
[Am]The last house where this dogtown meets the river,
meets the fields
[Dm]Lookin' out the East I'd say,
that thunderhead could be a thousand miles [Am]away
Out off [F]the coast, [Am]unreal

[Verse 2]
[Am]I've been thinkin',
off and on, about you
About the summer now gone,
and what I mean to do
[Dm]All in all, this town,
is only good for if you need to not be [Am]found
For a [F]while, [Am]for a turn or two

[Verse 3]
[Am]You, on the other hand, just may be
A whole new and fascinating
[Dm]possibility
How far, and how wired,
could we get on down the [Am]line
[F]Once fired, on that [Am]tra jectory

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
How long could we play
Who'd be the first to peel
[Am]away before the [F]end
Is [Am]what I'd like to see

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Yeah, you can look around
But [Dm]we ain't got much ti[Am]me
Maybe, we'll be,

[Interlude 1]
the perfect crime
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 6]
The summer lightning [Am]flicks in sheets,
across the world [Dm]tonight
[Am]All across this little town,
this little party light
[Dm]Strung out with the others,
down a highway bleak and beautiful as [Am]you
All [F]flash, and [Am]no relief in sight

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
One kiss, you and I,
could outrun anything we [Am]do
For a [F]while, [Am]and that's alright

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[Em]Yeah, you can [G]look around
But [Dm]we ain't got much ti[Am]me
Baby, we'll be, the [A]perfect [Am]crime

[Outro 1]
Baby, we'll be, the perfect crime
[Am]
