Intro:
D A x4

Verse 1:
D                       A              D
Toothless and tired, my soul finds the door
D                            G             D
To breathe and to be nothing less, nothing more
Bm                      D              G
Safe from disaster and spared by your love
Bm                   A            D
Settle down now, I think that's enough
Bm                       A       D
Settle down now, that's surely enough

 D                            A               D
Clung to its sleeve, this old heart's fit to choke
D                                 G           D
Lest you light up my drink or you fill up my smoke
Bm                                  D             G
All the parents and the poets can cry in their graves
Bm                    A       D
From the lack of the love you gave
 Bm                  A        D
From the lack of the love we gave

Chorus:
        Bm        A        D
We are frivolous with our hearts
            Bm              A
Watch them bend till they break
         D           G
Then we pick up the parts
        Bm         A
Yeah, we give, we take
    D         G      A
We save and condemn
      Bm             A      D
And we live just to love again

Verse 2:
D                      A              D
Comfort reminds us of how it should feel
      D                     G      D
It wistfully chains us to fictive ideals
         Bm                       D         G
And it spurs us to keep all our love in a jar
      Bm                A        D
Says I'm just keeping you from harm
      Bm                 A     D
Just trying to keep you from harm

Chorus:
         Bm       A        D
We are frivolous with our hearts
           Bm              A
Watch them bend till they break
         D            G
Then we pick up the parts
           Bm       A
Yeah, we give, we take
     D        G
We save and condemn
       Bm            A      D
And we live just to love again

Instrumental:
Bm  A  G  D A

Verse 3:
N.C.
Well, someday we'll see we've got nothing to lose
N.C.
We'll be dancing on tables in our Sunday shoes
N.C.
And you'll know that these words I would never betray
N.C.
You're the rose and the thorn and you're safe
N.C.
You're the rose and the thorn and you're safe
N.C.
Yeah, you're the rose and the thorn and you're safe
