[Verse]
 
Am     D
Just a perfect day,
G            C
Drink Sangria in the park,
F               Dm
And then later, when it gets dark,
      E
We go home.
Am     D
Just a perfect day,
G           C
Feed animals in the zoo
F          Dm
Then later, a movie, too,
         E
And then home.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   A           D
Oh it's such a perfect day,
    C#m                  D    D/C#  D/B
I'm glad I spent it with you.
A         E
Oh such a perfect day,
         F#m     E       D
You just keep me hanging on,
         F#m     E       D
You just keep me hanging on.
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am     D
Just a perfect day,
G            C
Problems all left alone,
F         Dm
Weekenders on our own.
          E
It's such fun.
Am     D
Just a perfect day,
G              C
You made me forget myself.
F               Dm
I thought I was someone else,
        E
Someone good.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   A           D
Oh it's such a perfect day,
    C#m                  D    D/C#  D/B
I'm glad I spent it with you.
A         E
Oh such a perfect day,
         F#m     E       D
You just keep me hanging on,
         F#m     E       D
You just keep me hanging on.
