EDIT: I don't know the names of what I've labelled as 1, #2 and #3. The chord shapes
100% right, but rather than leave the names incorrect, I've decided to change them. If

Lyrics:
It's been 18 months since I kissed you once
So just saying 'hi' just isn't gonna fly
But give me a clue, and in a minute or two
Then I might remember your name
And I hate to insist that I was really that pissed
But to tell the truth, in my flush of youth
I would drown my sights so that faces and nights
Seemed the same
And a nervous shrug and an awkward hug
Wont get me out of the hole Ive dug,
So I slip the noose with a poor excuse
And talk to someone, anyone else.
And I sit with my friends and I try to pretend
That I never did that sort of thing again,
But Im lying
to myself.
2
And suddenly, well its as clear as clear could be:
Im not quite the perfect man that I hoped Id be.
2
And though I always tried to live an honest life,
To tell my truth Ive told my share of lies.
I remember you, of course I do,
But I dont recall how many times weve been through
This little game, that always ends the same,
With you sad and me far away.
And every time I repeat the line
That the faults not mine and I wasnt unkind.
But the worst part is that Ive got nothing else
to say.
And suddenly its as clear as clear could be:
Im not quite the perfect man that I hoped Id be.
And though I always tried to live an honest life,
To tell my truth Ive told my share of lies.
3 [D] [C]
And all the pretty little pictures of faith and firm devotion
That I painted as a child,
3 [D] [C]
Well they have fallen by the wayside, along with all my puppy-fat,
But my days have taught me this:
3 [D] [C]
That every day I spend pretending that I always choose the right path
Is a day that I choose the wrong.
Oh yes my wisdom teeth have been giving me grief
They woke me up to find that Im exactly the kind of
Guy I said that Id rather be dead than be
In the days before I got laid.
And suddenly its as clear as clear could be:
Im not quite the perfect man that I hoped Id be.
And I always tried to live an honest life,
To tell my truth Ive told my share of lies.
