[Intro]
A
…….
[Verse 1]
  A       E          A              E          D
A beating heart gets thrown out of a car in the dark

   A                           E                        D
I find it and I check it for scars and make sure it’s clean

           A      E
Then I Go back inside

                A             E           D
Cause there’s nothing for us here in the night

     A                        E           D
Just a helicopter buzzing nearby, ruining my sleep
[Pre-chorus]
  E             F#m                              D
And I can feel a strong vibration when I look at you, you

     E     F#m                                    D     E
Everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too..
[Chorus]
              A
Is this what it takes

         E                       D
What it takes to be impossibly great?

                              E        F#m        E
Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less

     D
The less I knew the better

   E            A            E                             D
Please just be kind when I drag myself out on through the line

                                E         F#m        E
‘Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less

     D
The less I knew the better
[Verse 2]
             A        E
Yeah, that heart and me

    A              E          D
At first we get on so splendidly

        A                                E
And we called you but you never seemed free

                   D
So we just drove around for a while

             A                   E
But then the…poetry of silence..

                            A              E
It has this way of catching…me and that heart

       D                        A                       E                           D
And it…rises to tell us that all of this is grief and…everything we love is a shame
[Pre-chorus]
     E           F#m                               D
So I open up my window and I throw that heart through, through

         E     F#m                                   D       E
Now everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too..
[Chorus]
                    A
So is this what it takes

         E                       D
What it takes to be supposedly great?

                              E         F#m       E
Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less

     D
The less I knew the better

   E            A           E                         D
Please just be kind when I drag myself out onto the night

                                E        F#m        E
Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less

      D
The less I knew the better
The less I knew the better [Outro]
