Intro
G C (6x)
[Verse 1]
G C
Walking down the streets with the government
G C
Passed the Sisters of Mercy and the tenement
G C
Well, I need a good time just to get myself in line
Am D7
I got time on my hands to be spent
[Verse 2]
G C
So, I slip and slide us to a sleazy bar
G C
See my friends, shake their hands, ask them how they are
G C
But they're talking to drones, so I turn around and go
Am D
Get splashed by a passing car
[Chorus]
G C A
D7 G
Isn't it all so perfectly divine
[Instrumental]
G C G C G C G C
[Verse 3]
G C
Well, I dragged my aching feet around the back
G C
I bump into a very special friend
G C
And in no time at all, I'm stalking down the wall
Am D
The boy have no lick of sense
[Verse 4]
G C
Well, I make it back home without a fall
G C
Lay back laughing on the kitchen wall
G C
Looking at the wife, she finally said, "Enough!"
Am D
I wonder at the beauty of it all
[Chorus]
G C A
D7 G
Isn't it all so perfectly divine
[Instrumental]
G C G C G C G C
[Verse 5]
G C
And in the cold, cold morning of the following day
G C
I'm in bed and waiting for the breakfast tray
G C
But all I find instead, is a message by the bed
Am D
Saying, "Goodbye, baby, I'm away"
[Verse 6]
G C
So I slipped out of bed, put the radio on
G C
An English cup of tea and some fried bacon
G C
Looking at that rain, I'm trying not to complain
Am D
About the strangest going on and on and on
[Chorus]
G C A
D7
Isn't it all so perfectly
[Chorus]

Isn't it all so perfectly
[Chorus]
G C A
D7 G
Isn't it all so perfectly strange
