Verse 1:
F
What to wear?
F
What to say?

What to do on a sunny day?
F
Who the phone?

Who to fight?

Who to dance with on a sunday night?

I'm reaching the very edge you know

Reaching the very edge
F
I'm going to the other side this time
F
Reaching the very edge


Chorus:
C                              Ab
You're still breathing but you don't know why
 C                G
Life's a bit and sometimes you die
 C                              Ab
You're still breathing but you just can't tell
C
Don't hold your breath
          G
But the pretty things are going to hell


Post-Chorus:
 C
I am a drug, I am a dragon
 F
I am the best jazz you ever seen
 F
I am the dragon, I am the sky
 C
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
 C
I found the secrets I found gold
 F
I find you out before you grow old
 F
I find you out before you grow old
