I haven't yet seen this song anywhere so I thought I would write it up. What I
have come up with isn't at all complete. There is more to this song, but I
think these chords will start you guys up. I heard this song on the Howard
Stern show. It was in an acoustic version, which made it easier to hear the
guitar, but it's all the same as the album. I know this transcription of mine
is not "Perfect", but any corrections, comments, and embarrassments are
welcomed :) It's also my first transcription so give me a break! :-)

It's all basically these two chords:

C# x46664
Bbm? x13321 (I'm not sure this is the right name of the chord)

Intro: C# - Bbm : Play these two chords and just keep going until the verse.
(I think everyone should listen to the song when playing because I may be off
on the chord changes and on the timing.)

(Verse 1)
-------------------------------
C# Bbm C# Bbm C#
I know we're just like old friends. We just can't pretend.
Bbm C# Bbm
That lovers make amends.
C# Bbm C# Bbm C#
We are reasons so unreal. We can't help but feel
Bbm C# Bbm
that something has been lost.

Chorus?(I think this is where the chorus starts)
C# Bbm C# Bbm
But please you know you're just like me.
C# Bbm C# Bbm C# Bbm C#
Next time I promise we'll be perfect............perfect............perfect
Bbm C# Bbm C#
Strangers down the line. Lovers out of time.
Bbm C# Bbm
Memories unwind
C# Bbm C# C#
So far I still know who you are.
C# Bbm C# Bbm C# Bbm
But now I wonder who I was.
(Verse 2)
-----------------------------
C# Bbm C# Bbm C#
Bbm
Angel you know it's not the end. We'll always be good friends. But the letters
have
C# Bbm
been sent.........on.

Chorus? (I still don't know if this is where the chorus starts:)
C# Bbm C# C#
So please you always were so free.
C# Bbm C# Bbm C#
You'll see I promise we'll be perfect............perfect.
Bbm C# Bbm C# Bbm
C# Bbm
Strangers when we meet, Strangers on the streets. Lovers while we sleep
C#
Perfect.
Bbm C# Bbm C# Bbm
You know this has to be. We always we're so free. We promised that
C# Bbm
we'd be
C# Bbm C# Bbm C# Bbm C#
perfect...........perfect............perfect.............End.

That's it. Enjoy! :-) Jenn
