[Verse 1]
C
Love is a not a contest
G
It's a battle of will
C
William Shakespeare in a nutshell
Em G
The Globe Theatre is burning still
Dm
I don't wanna die in the moonlight
G
High upon this hill
Dm
It's not a hill I wanna die on
G
Safe in the duck blind, I still couldn't kill

[Chorus]
C G
Even though I was hidden
C G
Even though I was freezin'
C G
Even though I was secret
Em D
Like whispering "I love you" to a platinum non-blonde

Who wasn't real

[Verse 2]
C
Death is in a bombshell
G
It isn't if, it's only when
C
Posies in my pockets
Em G
While I run in circles with my friends
Dm G
All around these cities singing songs to pacifists
Dm G
Saying sorry that my autograph is messy

Looks counterfeit

[Instrumental]

Dm
I have no one to depend on
G
Gentile or Jew
Dm
If I was forced to make an exception
