[C] [D]
[C] [G]
[D] There would [C] be songs [G] sung [D] by a choir
I would have a [C] white robe, a halo [Bm] [D] newly acquired
I'd be [C] at peace, and I'd have [D] no desire if I [Em] lived right
There [C] would be chairs, tiny [G] harps, [D] harrows, and bows
I'd have [C] a halo and a flowing [D]
white robe
[G] I'd be [C] enfolded by a celestial [D]
light if I'd [Em] live right
I'm [C] feeling hot, bothered under [D]
the collar
I feel [C] the sweat breaking out on [D] my brow
I feel [C] the heat, and I know [D] it's the passion
The love I can't
[Em] disavow
If this is [C] a dream, wake [D] me up now
If this is [C] a movie, let's edit [G] these [D] scenes out
It would be a [C] PG instead [D] of an X-rated life if I'd [Em] live right
[D]
[Em] Some would call me [C] a G, call [D] me a liar
Say that I've been [C] defeated by the [D] priestess' desires
Guess I [C] have strayed and [G] succumbed [D] to my vices if I tried to [Em] live right
[Bm]
[Em] I have no [C] regrets, no [G] guilt in [D] my heart
Only [C] feel sadness for any [G] pain that [D] I've caused
Guess I [C] wouldn't bother, [G] worry [D] at all, if I'd [Em] live right
[Bm] Do
[Em] you live [C] by the book, or play [G] by [D] the rules?
Do you care what [C] is thought by others [D] about you?
If this day [C] is all that is promised [D] to you
Do you live for [Em] the future, the present, the past?
If there's one thing [C] I know, I know [D] I will die
If anyone [C] cares, some stranger [D] may critique my life
May be [C] revered, or defamed [D] and decried
If I'd
[Em] [Bm] be [Em] [A]
