🎶 PRIDE.

Chorus 1:
[A#] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [Cb]taught [Bm7]to [B7]share
But [A#]care, [Am9]in [Cb]another life, I surely [Bm7]was [B7]there
[A#] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [Cb]taught [Ebdim]to share
But [Em7]care, I [Am6]care, I [Gbm7]care [Bm7] [B7]

Verse 1:
[A#]Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, [Am9]new worldly possessions
[Cb]Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, [Bm7]which one would [B7]you lessen?
The [A#]better part, the human heart, you [Am9]love ’em or dissect 'em
[Cb]Happiness or flashiness, how [Bm7]do you serve [B7]the question?
[A#]See, in the perfect world, I would be [Am9]perfect, world
I don't [Cb]trust people enough beyond they [Ebdim]surface, world
I don't [Em7]love people enough to put my [Am6]faith in men
I put my [Gbm7]faith in these lyrics hoping I [Bm7]make amend, [B7]I understand

Verse 2:
I [A#]ain't perfect, I probably won't [Am9]come around
This time I might [Cb]put you down, last time I ain't [Bm7]give a xxxx
I [B7]still feel [A#]the same now, my feelings [Am9]might go numb
You're dealing with [Cb]cold thumb,
I’m willing to give [Bm7]up a leg [G#]and arm and [A#]show empathy from
Pity parties [Am9]and functions and you and [Cb]yours, a
perfect world, you probably [Ebdim]live another 24
[Em7] I can’t fake humble just [Am6]'cause your ass is insecure
[Gbm7] I can’t fake humble just [Bm7]'cause your ass [B7]is insecure

Chorus 2:
[A#] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [Cb]taught [Bm7]to [B7]share
But [A#]care, [Am9]in [Cb]another life, I surely [Bm7]was [B7]there
[A#] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [Cb]taught [Ebdim]to share
But [Bm7]care, I [Em6]care, I care

Refrain:
Maybe I wasn’t [A#]there [Am9] [Cb]
[Bm7]Maybe I [B7]wasn’ [A#]t ther [Am9]e [Cb]
[Bm7]Maybe I [B7]wasn’ [A#]t ther [Am9]e [Cb]
[Ebdim]Maybe I wasn’t [D#] [Am6] [Gbm7] [Bm7] [B7]

Verse 3:
Now [A#]in a perfect world, I probably [Am9]won't be insensitive
[Cb]Cold as December but never [Bm7]remember [B7]what winter did
[A#]I wouldn't blame you for mistakes [Am9]I made or the bed I laid
[Cb]Seems like I point the finger just to [Bm7]make a [B7]point nowadays
[A#]Smiles and cold stares, the [Am9]temperature goes there
[Cb]Indigenous disposition, feel [Ebdim]like we belong here
I [Em7]know the walls, they can listen, I [Am6]wish they could talk back
The [Gbm7]hurt becomes repetition, the [Bm7]love [B7]almost lost that

Verse 4:
[A#]Sick venom in men and [Am9]women overcome with pride
a [Cb]perfect world is never [Bm7]perfect, [B7]only filled with lies
[A#]Promises are broken and [Am9]more resentment come alive
[Cb]Race barriers make [Bm7]inferior [B7]of you and I
See, [A#]in a perfect world, I'll choose [Am9]faith over riches
I'll choose [Cb]work over xxxxxes, I'll make [Ebdim]schools out of prison
I'll take [Em7]all the religions and put 'em [Am6]all in one service
Just to [Gbm7]tell 'em we ain't xxxx, but [Bm7]He's [B7]been perfect, world

Chorus 3:
[A#] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [Cb]taught [Bm7]to [B7]share
But [A#]care, [Am9]in [Cb]another life, I surely [Bm7]was [B7]there
[A#] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [Cb]taught [Ebdim]to share
But [Em7]care, I [Am6]care, I [Gbm7]care [Bm7] [B7]

Refrain:
Maybe I wasn’t [A#]there [Am9] [Cb]
[Bm7]Maybe I [B7]wasn’ [A#]t ther [Am9]e [Cb]
[Bm7]Maybe I [B7]wasn’ [A#]t ther [Am9]e [Cb]
[Ebdim] [D#] [Am6] [Gbm7] [Bm7] [B7] ⠀
