[Verse 1]
GBelligerents of beauty hits Cme with my back against the Gwall
How could you look this good Cnaked and underDstand the pain at all
GPanic-stricken, wild-Ceyed, looking for a better place to Ghide how
have i still not Ccommandeered the Dballs
To lay Gwaste to second best in this
Cexhibit of our excess and I can Gsee the past success judging Copen Dunimpressed and I
can Gfeel my heavy footstep in your Cchest, feel my own weak heartGbeat as you slept
And a Emlittle bit of poison it Calways does the Gtrick
As an Emantidote to the edge and Cliving life like Gthis
[Chorus]
And is this Gpassion
something I look Cback on and regret
Well Emyou tell me I'm better off dead
CI'll take being all Dheart and no head
And is this Gpassion
something I look Emback on and regret
Well Emyou tell me I'm better off dead
CI'll take being all Dheart and no headG  
[Verse 2]
With a hurt so Gphysical it was beautiful through Ctrembling lips I spoke of how I
Gwasn't happy either with a life of Chope and Dsmoke and I
Gturn to You and half whispered half croaked a Cshity little joke
watched as the Gfrown fault lines on your Cpretty face Dbroke in in our
Glittle nest above the street and Cup out of the rain I tried to
Gverbalize fading light and Cexplain the way the Dpain of how some
Gtimes I wish I could stay sick and Emhave an unending excuse to be away
[Pre-chorus]
Emfrom what I'm taught, Cand what I'm told, Gand what I found out D/F#when it was too late
Emand what I'm taught, Cwhat I'm told, Gand what I found out D/F#when it was too late
[Bridge]
And is this Gpassion
or is this just Cfashionable
maybe I'm too imEm- pressionable
maybe I've learnedC  
Sweet, fuck, all
GBut I'll take this life
over jeans without holes and Cnever saying goodbye
and I'll feel the cold and I’ll go broke before I die
but there's a child in me Cwho still believes that he can fly and
[Verse 3]
I grew up in a Ggood house maybe too good as It Cseems now never knew how hard I'd have to Gtry
to make magic and make Cmoney and there's nothing Dtragic romantic or Gfunny about
stealing food and Crunning from every decision I have ever madeG  
watch my undying youth Cbe extinguished by Dmy own flame
[Pre-chorus]
EmAnd what I'm taughtC, and what I'm toldG, and what I found out D/F#when it was too late
Emwhat I'm taught, Cwhat I'm toldG  G  
[Chorus]
And is this Gpassion
something I look Emback on and regret
Well Emyou tell me I'm better off dead
CI'll take being all D/F#heart and no head
And is this Gpassion
No i will Emnot look back or regret
Well Emyou tell me I'm better off dead
And CI'll take being all Dheart and no headG
