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


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


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


[Chorus]
G                                 
And is this passion, something 
       Cadd9
I'll look back on and regret
Em7
Well, you tell me I’m better off 
dead

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


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


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


[Bridge]
            G                      
And is this passion, or is this 
  Cadd9*
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
And I’ll feel the cold and I’ll go 
Em7
broke before I die


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


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



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