scared to live
Intro
Bm G x2
Bm G
Walk into the lightning of a midnight bulletin
Bm G
Our brave new world sits smiling with egg on its chin
Bm G
And love gets so lazy, love gets so slow
Bm G
We stopped making love in the hours of daylight too many moons ago
A G
But now that we've given all that we have to give
Bm G
Maybe we're just scared to live
Bm G
Since I go so blinkered to nothing else but you
Bm G
I've been playing for each cheap reward like game show gluttons do
Bm
And love's the honest truth Babe
G
And love's such a beautiful lie
Bm G
So don't look so confused Honey, know it's true tonight
A G
But now that I've given all that I have to give
Bm G
Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live
Bm G
Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live
A Em G
Why can't I wake up and make something of my life
A Em A
Why can't I wake up to this life?
Bm G x4
How can you have no faith in this your own hometown?
Can't you practice a little discretion, play the whole thing down
And since you got so blinkered to the highs and lows of a hopeless thing
Maybe you can take this heart and pass it on to him
Now that I've given all that I have to give
Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live
Maybe I'm just scared to live, scared to live
Bm G x3
Bm G
Maybe you can take this heart, Maybe you can take this heart
Bm G Bm G
and pass it on to him
