Genre: pop, rock, indie


[Intro]
Gmaj7 D E7

[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
Romeo swallowed the poison,

and Juliet found him without any air
D
So tragic, the story, dramatic and gory,
E7
with beauty amidst such despair

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7
But there's nothing graceful about you and me

There's no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
D
And suffering too
E7
From losing you

[Chorus]
Gmaj7
If there's art in every heartbreak,
G
where's the beauty in my pain?
Dmaj7
Where's the movie with the ending
E7
where I find true love again?
Gmaj7
If there's art in every heartbreak,
G
if there's beauty in my pain
D
Then why can't I find it,

the meaning behind it?
E7
If Shakespeare were here, I wonder what he'd say

[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
Maybe he'd force me to swallow the poison

and say he can't save me, it's too late for choices
Dmaj7
No love to rejoice in
E7
And, under my breath, I'd say

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7
"There's nothing graceful about you and me

There's no dignified ending, just hate and deceit
