The Perfect Crime Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The [Em]summer
lightning flicks in sheets,
the negative reveals
[C]The [Em]last house where this dog town
meets the river meets the [Am]field[Bm]s
Look[Am]ing out the east I[F]'d s[Am]ay
[C]that [Am]thunderhead [C]could be[Am]
a thousand miles away
[Em]out off the [C]coas[Am]t
Un[Em]real I've been thinking
not [Am]for long about you
About the summer now gone
and what I mean to [F]do[Am]
All in all, this town is only good for
[Em]if you n[Am]eed to n[Eb]ot be found
For [Am]a wh[E]ile, for a turn or two[Em]
You, on the other hand, just may be
A whole new and fascinating
possibil[Am]ity[Em][Am]
How far and how wide
could we get on down the [Em]line
[C]Once flied [Em]on that t[E]rajectory
[Am]How long could we play
Who'd be the first to peel
[Em]away before the [C]end
[Em]Is what I'd like to see
[Bm]Yeah, you can look around,
[Am]but we ain't got much time[Em]
Baby, we'll be the perfect [Am]crime[Em][E]
[Am][C][Em][E][Am][Em][Am][Em]
Summer lightning flicks [C]in [Am]sheets
across the [Em]world tonight
All across this little [Bm]town,
[Em]this little party light
[Am]Sparking out with the others down
A highway bleak and beautiful as [Em]you
[C]All flash and [Em]no relief in s[E]ight
[Em]One [Am]kiss and you and I could
Outrun anything [Em]we do for a wh[C]ile
[Em]And that's alright[E]
[Em]Yeah, [E]you[Bm] can look around,
but [Am]we ain't got much time
[Em]Baby, we'll be the perfect crime
[Em]Baby, [Em]we'll be the[Em]
perfect [Em]crime
You
