[Intro]
C F
C G F
[Verse 1]
C
Give me the light years
F
But I want the dark ones, too
G
Grief is the singer in my band
She's a passenger van
F
And a shortcut straight to the truth
C
Learn from the nightshades
F
They grow in the darkest places
G
Had we not been stung so many times
Would we ever have arrived
F
At this heaven on Earth that I don't wanna waste
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C F
Pick a lucky penny up
Am G F
And I'll marry you for your money, love
[Chorus]
C F
So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth
Dm
Want to feel it all
G C
Salt then sour then sweet
F Dm
Want to kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls
G Dm C F F C G
Lay them at your feet with the rest of me
C F C F
Salt then sour then sweet
[Verse 2]
C
Come to the porch, love
F
Look up at the perfect sky
G
Holding the sun and the moon and the thundering June
F
While she teaches the birds and the rain how to fly
C
I don't need perfect
F
I just want to touch what's true
G
I want to cherish the trying
And the living and dying
F
Make big mistakes the way kind people do
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C F
Pick a lucky penny up
Am G F
And I'll marry you for your money, love
[Chorus]
C F
So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth
Dm
Want to feel it all
G C
Salt then sour then sweet
F Dm
Want to kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls
G Dm C F F C G
Lay them at your feet with the rest of me
Dm
Nothing more I need
C F
Nothing more I need
F C G
Life is lovably
C F
Salt then sour then sweet
[Outro]
C
So sweet
F
So sweet
C
So sweet
F
Life is lovably
C
So sweet, so sweet
F C
So sweet
