Key:  G Major

INTRO:  Am  G/B  Cm  G   C/D

VERSE:
G                                   D                    Am
Sometimes her morning coffee's way too strong

       C                                             D         G
And sometimes what she says, she says all wrong

C      D   G                           D
Right or wrong, she's there beside me

       Am      G/B             C
Like only a friend would be

               Am                    Cm           G     C/D
And that's close enought to perfect for me

VERSE:
       G                              D                       Am
Now she's been known to wear her pants too tight

       C                                  D       G
And drinking puts her out just like a light

C   D      G                        D
Heaven knows she's not an angel

               Am    G/B   C
But she'd really like to be

               Am                   Cm           G     Am   G/B
And that's close enough to perfect for me

CHORUS:
      C                                                G
She kisses me each morning.......And smiles her sleepy smile

C            G/B       Am   G           F        Am7/E  D     D7
She don't have to say it.......I can see it in her   eyes

              G                     D
Don't you worry about my woman

                  Am          G/B       C
Or what you think she ought to be

         Am                   Cm           G           Am  G/B  Cm  G  C/D
She's close enough to perfect for me

VERSE:
G                             D                          Am
Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry

      C                       D        G
But then again a lady has a right

         C  D   G                  D
She's everything I've ever wanted

         Am   G/B   C
She's all I'll ever need

         Am                   Cm          G      Am  G/B
She's close enough to perfect for me

REPEAT CHORUS

G             Am       G/B      Cm                G
Oh, she's close enough to perfect......for me


G  D  Am  C   D   G  C   D   G    D  Am  G/B  C  Am   Cm  G  C/D   G
repeat and fade
