[Intro]
A
…….
[Verse 1]
A E A E D
A beating heart gets thrown out of a car in the dark
A E D
I find it and I check it for scars and make sure it’s clean
A E
Then I Go back inside
A E D
‘Cause there’s nothing for us here in the night
A E D
Just a helicopter buzzing nearby, ruining my sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m D
And I can feel a strong vibration when I look at you, you
E F#m D E
Everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too..
[Chorus]
A
Is this what it takes
E D
What it takes to be impossibly great?
E F#m E
‘Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less
D
The less I knew the better
E A E D
Please just be kind when I drag myself out on through the line
E F#m E
‘Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less
D
The less I knew the better
[Verse 2]
A E
Yeah, that heart and me
A E D
At first we get on so splendidly
A E
And we called you but you never seemed free
D
So we just drove around for a while
A E
But then the…poetry of silence..
A E
It has this way of catching…me and that heart
D A E D
And it…rises to tell us that all of this is grief and…everything we love is a shame
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m D
So I open up my window and I throw that heart through, through
E F#m D E
Now everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too..
[Chorus]
A
So is this what it takes
E D
What it takes to be supposedly great?
E F#m E
‘Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less
D
The less I knew the better
E A E D
Please just be kind when I drag myself out onto the night
E F#m E
‘Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less
D
The less I knew the better
The less I knew the better
