D                       G
I might never be your knight in shining armour
Bm                   G
I might never be the one to take home to mother
D                        G
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
Bm                     G
But I can be the one, be the one tonight

When I first saw you from across the room
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl, I hope you're sure what you're looking for
'Cause I'm not good at making promises

Chorus:
            D
But if you like causing
trouble up in hotel rooms
            G
and if you like having
secret little rendezvous
        Bm
if you like to do the things
that you know we shouldn't do
           G
baby, I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you
            D
And if you like midnight driving
with the windows down
            G
and if you like going places
we can't even pronounce
        Bm
if you like to do whatever
you've been dreaming about
             G
Baby you're perfect, baby you're perfect
                       D
So, let's start right now

I might never be the hands you put your heart in
Or the arms that hold you any time you want them
But that don't mean that we can't live here in the moment
'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time

When I first saw you from across the room
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl, I hope you're sure what you're looking for
'Cause I'm not good at making promises

Chorus

            D
And if you like cameras flashing
                          G
every time we go out, oh yeah
              Bm
And if you're looking for someone
to write your break up songs about
          G
Baby I'm perfect, baby we're perfect

Chorus
