Verse:
G                Cadd9
The 🏷Legends of beauty hits to me with your back against the wall,
G             Cadd9     Dsus4
How can you look this good naked and understand the pain at all
G           Cadd9
Panic-stricken while I look for a better place to hide,
G            Cadd9      Dsus4
and how have I still not commandeered the balls


G                  Cadd9
To lay waits the second best in this exhibit of our excess
     G             Cadd9  Dsus4
And I can see my past success judging open unimpressed
     G              Cadd9
And I can feel my every footstep in my chest
       G               Gsus2 Dadd4/F#
Until my own weak heart beat as you slept


  Em7            Cadd9         G
And a little bit of poison it always does the trick
      Em7               Cadd9   G
There’s an antidote to the edge and living life like this


Chorus:
G                    Cadd9
And is this passion, something I'll look back on and regret
Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9           Dsus4
I’ll take being all heart, no head
G                    Cadd9
And is this passion, something I'll look back on and regret
Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9           Dsus4
I’ll take being all heart and no head


Verse:
G                         Cadd9
With a heart so physical it was beautiful, through trembling lips I spoke
     G             Cadd9
Of how I wasn’t happy either with a life of hope and smoke
Dsus4 G                          Cadd9
And I turned to you and half-whispered, half-croaked some shitty little joke
        G                Cadd9
Watched as the frown fold lines on your pretty face broken
Dsus4 G                Cadd9
In our little nest above the street and apalled of the rain
      G             Cadd9
I tried to verbalize fading light and explain away the pain
    G                   Cadd9
Of how sometimes I wish I could stay sick and have unending excuse to be away


Em7         Cadd9       G          Dadd4/F#
From what I’m taught and what I’m told, and what I found out when it was too late,
Em7         Cadd9       G          Dadd4/F#
From what I’m taught and what I’m told, and what I found out when it was too late


Bridge:
      G            Cadd9*
And is this passion, or is this just fashionable
        Em7*
Maybe I’m too impressionable
          Cadd9*
Maybe I’ve learned sweet fuck-all
       G
But I’ll take this life
               Cadd9
Over jeans without holes and never saying goodbyes
                  Em7
And I’ll feel the cold and I’ll go broke before I die


Verse:
Em7            Cadd9             Dsus4
But there’s a child in me who still believes that he can fly
          G                   Cadd9
And I grew up in a good house, maybe too good as it seems now
                  G           Cadd9
Never knew how hard I’d have to try to make magic and make money,
          Dsus4       G
and there’s nothing tragic romantic or funny about
         Cadd9
stealing food and running from every decision I’ve ever made,
G           Cadd9
watch my undying youth be extinguished by my own flame


Em7       Cadd9       G          Dadd4/F#
What I’m taught and what I’m told, and what I found out when it was too late,
Em7       Cadd9       G          Dadd4/F#
what I’m taught and what I’m told…


Chorus:
G                    Cadd9
And is this passion, something I'll look back on and regret
Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9           Dsus4
I’ll take being all heart, no head
G               Cadd9
And is this passion, no I will not look back or regret
Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9             Dsus4
And I’ll take being all heart and no head
