Intro
[C] [F/A]
[G/B][F/A]Mmmm..
Verse 1
Give me the[C] light years
But I want the [F/A]dark ones, too
Grief is the [G/B]singer in my band
She's a passenger van
And a [F/A]shortcut straight to the truth
Learn from the [C]nightshades
They grow in the [F/A]darkest places
Had we not been [G/B]stung so many times
Would we ever have arrived
At this [F/A]Heaven on Earth that I don't wanna waste
Pre-Chorus
[Dm]Pick a lucky [C/E]penny up[F]
I'll [Am]marry you for [G]your money, [F]love
Chorus
So keep the [C]Novocain out of my [F]wisdom teeth
Want to [Dm]feel it all
Salt [G]then sour, then [C]sweet
Wanna kiss you and [F]write love's name on my [Dm]crumbling walls
[G]Lay them at your [Dm]feet[C] [F]with the rest of [F]me[G][Dm]
Salt then sour, then [C][F/A]sweet[F/A][G/B]
Verse 2
Come to the [C]porch, love
Look up at the [F/A]perfect sky
Holding the [G/B]sun, and the moon, and the thunder in June
While she [F/A]teaches the birds and the rain how to fly
I don't need [C]perfect
No, I just wanna [F/A]touch the truth
I wanna [G/B]cherish the trying
And the living and the dying
And make [F/A]big mistakes the way kind people do
Pre-Chorus
[Dm]Pick a lucky [C]penny [F]up
And I'll [Am]marry you for your [G]money, [F]love
Chorus
So keep the [C]Novocain out of my [F]wisdom teeth
Want to [Dm]feel it all
Salt [G]then sour, then [C]sweet
Wanna kiss you and [F]write love's name on my [Dm]crumbling walls
[G]Lay them at your [Dm]feet[C] [F]with the rest of [F]me[G][Dm/A]
Nothing more I [Dm]need [C](Brandi)(nothing more I [F]need)
Life is[F] love I [Dm]bleed (Life is)[G]
[G]Salt then sour, then [C]sweet
[F/A] So [C]sweet [F/A](So sweet)
So [C]sweet
Life is love, [F]oh
So [C]sweet, so sweet
[C]So sweet
