[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] _

[C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
