Sing along with Why I Shouldn’t Have Let You In!

You told me seize the day
And then I really thought you cared
And I tried to face my fears
But then I just got really scared
And even the fluffiest of silver clouds
Are made of freezing wetness
And you tell me life’s a bitch
But I don’t think you really get this

And I wish that I’d not let you in any more
And I wish that I’d been a bit fussier about the kind of people I let through the door
If I’d hesitated, I might have been fated
To life my own life without you.

I never really meant to share achronologically
The little things that made me me
I never thought I’d have to
Quantify them day by day
I never really felt the need to take my two or three
Neuroses then talk openly
About them and then brutally
Dissect them on a tray,

And I’m glad that you’re not telling me what to do
And I wish that I’d not spent the time illuminating up the past with little tales of who
Had nurtured me naturally from the womb
Through to now, my own life, without you.

You told me sieze the day
And then I really thought you cared
And I tried to face my fears
But then I just got really scared
And even the fluffiest of silver clouds
Are made of freezing wetness
And you tell me life’s a bitch
But I don’t think you really get this

And I wish that I’d not let you in any more
And I wish that I’d been a bit fussier about the kind of people I let through the door
If I’d hesitated, I might have been fated
To life my own life without you.

    Am I the only one who notices that Charlie seems to have used the same chords on his Birthday song for Alex Day?
    GOD I'm a youtube nerd.

    Tom,
    This is absolutly one of my favorite songs of yours!!! The lyrics are amazingly clever and uniquely poetic, on top of touching on a subject that many people can relate to. I have been spending a great deal of time trying to figure out the chords that you are using, but on top of me not knowing your fingering style (teehee ^.^), it appears as though you are using some very interesting chords that I can't quite figure out. I know that you are a busy person with many other more important things to do, but if you could post the chords or tabs for this song when you could, I would be incredibly happy. <3

    That's "Imperfections"... How disappointing.
