Verse:
G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
The 🏷Legends of beauty hits to me with your back against the wall,
G+G             Cadd9Cadd9     Dsus4Dsus4
How can you look this good naked and understand the pain at all
G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
Panic-stricken while I look for a better place to hide,
G+G            Cadd9Cadd9      Dsus4Dsus4
and how have I still not commandeered the balls

G+G                  Cadd9Cadd9
To lay waits the second best in this exhibit of our excess
     G+G             Cadd9Cadd9  Dsus4Dsus4
And I can see my past success judging open unimpressed
     G+G              Cadd9Cadd9
And I can feel my every footstep in my chest
       G+G               Gsus2Gsus2 Dadd4/F#
Until my own weak heart beat as you slept


  E minor 7Em7            Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
And a little bit of poison it always does the trick
      E minor 7Em7               Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
There’s an antidote to the edge and living life like this


Chorus:
G+G                    Cadd9Cadd9
And is this passion, something I'll look back on and regret
E minor 7Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9Cadd9           Dsus4Dsus4
I’ll take being all heart, no head
G+G                    Cadd9Cadd9
And is this passion, something I'll look back on and regret
E minor 7Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9Cadd9           Dsus4Dsus4
I’ll take being all heart and no head

Verse:
G+G                         Cadd9Cadd9
With a heart so physical it was beautiful, through trembling lips I spoke
     G+G             Cadd9Cadd9
Of how I wasn’t happy either with a life of hope and smoke
Dsus4Dsus4 G+G                          Cadd9Cadd9
And I turned to you and half-whispered, half-croaked some shitty little joke
        G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
Watched as the frown fold lines on your pretty face broken
Dsus4Dsus4 G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
In our little nest above the street and apalled of the rain
      G+G             Cadd9Cadd9
I tried to verbalize fading light and explain away the pain
    G+G                   Cadd9Cadd9
Of how sometimes I wish I could stay sick and have unending excuse to be away


E minor 7Em7         Cadd9Cadd9       G+G          Dadd4/F#
From what I’m taught and what I’m told, and what I found out when it was too late,
E minor 7Em7         Cadd9Cadd9       G+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+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+G
But I’ll take this life
               Cadd9Cadd9
Over jeans without holes and never saying goodbyes
                  E minor 7Em7
And I’ll feel the cold and I’ll go broke before I die


Verse:
E minor 7Em7            Cadd9Cadd9             Dsus4Dsus4
But there’s a child in me who still believes that he can fly
          G+G                   Cadd9Cadd9
And I grew up in a good house, maybe too good as it seems now
                  G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
Never knew how hard I’d have to try to make magic and make money,
          Dsus4Dsus4       G+G
and there’s nothing tragic romantic or funny about
         Cadd9Cadd9
stealing food and running from every decision I’ve ever made,
G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
watch my undying youth be extinguished by my own flame


E minor 7Em7       Cadd9Cadd9       G+G          Dadd4/F#
What I’m taught and what I’m told, and what I found out when it was too late,
E minor 7Em7       Cadd9Cadd9       G+G          Dadd4/F#
what I’m taught and what I’m told…


Chorus:
G+G                    Cadd9Cadd9
And is this passion, something I'll look back on and regret
E minor 7Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9Cadd9           Dsus4Dsus4
I’ll take being all heart, no head
G+G               Cadd9Cadd9
And is this passion, no I will not look back or regret
E minor 7Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off dead
Cadd9Cadd9             Dsus4Dsus4
And I’ll take being all heart and no head
