A       D        
Life is beautiful, 
    F#m         E     A
but beauty is a dying art
A       D
Life is wonderful, 
        F#m     E                   A
there's only so much you can wonder about

[Chorus]
C#m                    D    
Before life drives you mad, 
    A             E
and before nobody cares
C#m                    D
Before life drives you mad, 
    A             E
and before nobody cares

[Verse 2]
A         D
There are only words, 
    F#m        E          A
and words mean nothing at all
A             D
There's not a single word, 
   F#m          E        A
to speak for my rambling around

[Chorus]
      C#m               D
But I was searching for something, 
  A                F#m          E
a sleepless night, painless and drugged
     C#m               D
Oh I was searching for something, 
  A                F#m          E
a sleepless night, painless and drugged

[Verse 3]
A          D
Time means nothing at all, 
       F#m         E         A
it's a mark of the living to die
A        D     
Space is gonna fall, 
        F#m            E                        A
and the Sun's meant to stare us straight in the eye

[Chorus]
         C#m           D
So maybe you will feel fire, 
      A        F#m          E
maybe some day your love is wild
      C#m           D
Maybe you will feel fire, 
      A        F#m          E
maybe some day your love is wild

[Verse 4]
A            D
Heaven is an endless pit, 
      F#m          E             A
I can fall forever but I'd never make it
A           D
Hell is all that you know, 
      F#m         E               A
cause you've been hurt and you've walked on coals

[Chorus]
        C#m               D          
And you crush under every command, 
        A             F#m           E
hell on Earth is what life's always been
          C#m               D
Yeah, you crush under every command, 
        A             F#m           E
hell on Earth is what life's always been
