[Intro]
E5 , A5 , B5 , A5

[Verse 1]
E5
I've seen your kind before
  A5           E5
Defender of the crown
                 A5            E5
You've got your shades of swagger on
       A5   B5  A5
Every time you come around

[Verse 2]
Got your motives on your mind
Your worries, far and few
A car crash, or a carnival
Well, it's all the same to you

[Pre-Chorus]
        A5
You're chasing like
     E5
Some holy grail
  A5
A far from grace
    E5
But never fails, when

[Chorus]
( E5 )         A5           E5
You give me something I can use
A5 E5        B5    E5
I     need the perfect excuse
( E5 )                            A5        E5
You're an offer on the table I just can't refuse
       A5 E5                B5    E5    A5   B5   A5 (x2)
You're all I need, you're the perfect excuse

[Verse 3]
And the ice beneath is is paper thin
I can hear it boom and crack
Take one more step down this greasy slope
And there'll be no turning back

[Verse 4]
I don't have no sober second thought
To stop what you've begun
There's no saving me tonight
There's no saving anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
So, push the button
Start me up
Spin the wheel
Now try your luck and

[Chorus]
You give me something I can use
I need the perfect excuse
You're an offer on the table I just can't refuse
You're all I need, you're the perfect excuse

[Bridge]
E5         A5             E5 , A5 , B5 , A5                 
And my defense is running down
E5       A5               E5 , A5 , B5 , A5
Arms twisted, hands are bound
E5                               A5
To hope, line, and sink her are all I can see
E5           A5            B5   A5
Doing your worst has got the best of me

[Verse 5]
Well, I've been here before
Forgive me for my sins
Coming to in the afternoon
Seeing what the cat dragged in

[Pre-Chorus]
You're chasing like
Some holy grail
A far from grace
But never fails, when
So, push the button
Start me up
Spin the wheel
Now try your luck and

[Chorus]
You give me something I can use
I need the perfect excuse
You're an offer on the table I just can't refuse
You're all I need
You're something I can use
I need the perfect excuse
You're an offer on the table I just can't refuse
You're all I need, you're the perfect excuse
Perfect excuse
You're a perfect excuse
You're a perfect excuse
