Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
E F#m C#m
This is the thing about people
B F#m
You never really know what's inside
E F#m C#m
Somewhere in the soul there's a secret
B F#m
Hysteria grows where it was invited
E F#m C#m
This is the thing thing about fiction
B F#m
How everything feeds on it's paranoia
E F#m C#m
Wrapping it all up in tradition
B F#m
Now fill up the cup, go and drink your poison
[Chorus]
A E B F#m
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B F#m
Live it up for the path of resistance
[Verse 2]
E F#m C#m
This is the thing about confusion
B F#m
You never really know what you'll find
E F#m C#m
You tell me what it means to be human
B F#m
The freedom you seek is to free your mind
[Chorus]
A E B F#m
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B F#m
Live it up for the path of resistance
[Verse 3]
E F#m C#m
This is the thing about evil
B F#m
You never really know where it's hiding
E F#m C#m
Find your phantom in the cathedral
B F#m
The more you search for it, the less you'll find
[Chorus]
A E B F#
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B F#
Live it up for the path of resistance
A E B F#
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B C#m
Live it up for the path of resistance
G#m B Am A
This is the thing about people
You never really know what's inside
Somewhere in the soul there's a secret
Hysteria grows where it was invited
This is the thing about fiction
How everything feeds on its paranoia
Wrapping it all up in tradition
Now fill up the cup, go and drink your poison
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
So give it all up, give it distance
Live it up for the path of resistance
This is the thing about confusion
You never really know what you'll find
Tell me what it means to be human
The freedom you seek is to free your mind
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
So give it all up, give it distance
Live it up for the path of resistance
This is the thing about evil
You never really know where it's hiding
Find your phantom in the cathedral
The more you search for it, the less you'll find
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
So give it all up, give it distance
Live it up for the path of resistance
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
So give it all up, give it distance
Live it up for the path of resistance
