Intro
D G (6x)
[Verse 1]
D G
Walking down the streets with the government
D G
Passed the Sisters of Mercy and the tenement
D G
Well, I need a good time just to get myself in line
Em A7
I got time on my hands to be spent
[Verse 2]
D G
So, I slip and slide us to a sleazy bar
D G
See my friends, shake their hands, ask them how they are
D G
But they're talking to drones, so I turn around and go
Em A
Get splashed by a passing car
[Chorus]
D G E
A7 D
Isn't it all so perfectly divine
[Instrumental]
D G D G D G D G
[Verse 3]
D G
Well, I dragged my aching feet around the back
D G
I bump into a very special friend
D G
And in no time at all, I'm stalking down the wall
Em A
The boy have no lick of sense
[Verse 4]
D G
Well, I make it back home without a fall
D G
Lay back laughing on the kitchen wall
D G
Looking at the wife, she finally said, "Enough!"
Em A
I wonder at the beauty of it all
[Chorus]
D G E
A7 D
Isn't it all so perfectly divine
[Instrumental]
D G D G D G D G
[Verse 5]
D G
And in the cold, cold morning of the following day
D G
I'm in bed and waiting for the breakfast tray
D G
But all I find instead, is a message by the bed
Em A
Saying, "Goodbye, baby, I'm away"
[Verse 6]
D G
So I slipped out of bed, put the radio on
D G
An English cup of tea and some fried bacon
D G
Looking at that rain, I'm trying not to complain
Em A
About the strangest going on and on and on
[Chorus]
D G E
A7
Isn't it all so perfectly
[Chorus]
D G E
A7
Isn't it all so perfectly
[Chorus]

Isn't it all so perfectly strange
