Intro: D-B-D-B-D-B-A-Em
i know we're just like old friends
you just can't pretend
that lovers make amends
we are reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel
that something has been lost
so please you know you're just like me
next time i promise we'll be...
perfect, perfect, perfect
strangers down the line
lover out of time
memories unwind
so far i still know who you are
but now i wonder who i was
angel you know it's not the end
we'll always be good friends
your letters have been sent on
so please you always were so free
you'll see i promise we'll be
perfect, perfect
strangers when we meet
strangers on the street
lovers walk asleep
perfect
you know this has to be
we always were so free
we promise that we'll be
perfect, perfect, perfect

tab by elijah carlyle (frotus@juno.com)
this was really hard to figure out--not only is NONE of it really guitar,
but it's tuned down about half of a chromatic step (although that
could have been my recording--tapes tend to slow down)
a B6 (i think it's a B6)
can be played like this:
and an F#m7 (i'm pretty sure about that one) is this:
-2-or-2- (if anyone knows a better way of playing an
-2----4- F#m7, please tell me)
And now we're just like old friends
just can't pretend
lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel
something has been lost
But please I know you're just like me
next time I promise we'll be perfect
version 3
Here is another great song off ADORE,you're going to want to
use a clean electric guitar.When strumming use a percussive style and use muting
ocassionly,I would tab it out but would take to long and it would be pointless
so hopefully you can figure this out.Tune down 1/2 step.
Chords used
Fill 1:For intro keep playing an octave F sliding up to a G octave.
Fill 2
|-------------------- This fill is used often throught the song but mainly
|-------------------- after the chorus part.I'm not gonna tab it out every time
|-------------------- so just listen and you'll hear it.

From: "syn"
And now for something completely different...
This song undoubtedly uses an alternate tuning.
If you listen closely to the Viper Room track of Perfect,
you'll notice that Billy tunes his A string up to B.
This was verified by watching his hands during the Letterman and
Regis & Kathy Lee performances.
The tabbed riffs are only meant to be references.
Play to the song and use natural strumming.
If you have no rhythm, go and beat yourself mercilessly with
knotted cords and whips to a metronome.
("If you are going to clap, you must clap in time").

I'll leave it as an exercise for you to determine which
chord shapes/riffs are played where. Train your ear.
