Not Perfect Tab

by Tim Minchin


Well, basically this song is actually in A major, but I play it in C because it's easier
I can sing that range better.  The equivilant chords, if you want to play it properly, are:

 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 
 -> 

OK let's get to it!

                       
This is my earth, and I live in it,
                       
It's one third dirt and two thirds water,
       
And it rotates and revolves through space,
   
At rather an impressive pace,
                              
And never even messes up my hair,
    
But here's the really weird thing,
                 
The force created by its spin,
                                         
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in.
                        
This is my earth and it's fine
                                         
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
                                         
It's not perfect, but it's mine.  It's not perfect.


Pretty much the same throughout, with some notable differences:

                       
This is my house, and I live in it.
(same verse has Bb after the last G chord)

Last lines:
                        
This is my brain and it's fine
                                         
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
                                         
It's not perfect, but it's mine.  It's not perfect.
                                 
I'm not sure I've worked out how to work it.
                                 
It's not perfect, but it's mine.


(not entirely sure about this last part).
