Love In The Time Of Ecstacy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There's [G]a crack in the h[C]andle
of a corona[F]tion cup
That I once brought [C]back[G]
From the [C]study trip in Athens
where we [F]plaited my hair
And I put eyeliner [G]on
Until they [C]stopped in the street
and poin[F]ted at me
And I felt only [G]pride
For the [C]first time in my [F]life
There's a warm, [G]warm rain
Upon our [C]hotel balcony
Where we looked [F]out upon
The darkening sea and the [G]light
And the [C]light out on the Mediterranean
[F]And burned like candles in the mem[G]ory
Of all the [C]things that we mislaid
on our way [F]here[G]
Why did Nir[C]vana ever
bother to play [F]here?
Hey there, I don't wanna stay here
[C]I decree there i[G]s a higher plane
Someplace of [F]little [C]consequence
That I might [G]see your face again
Before the [F]living and the [Am]dead
Are [F]reunited[G]
[C]And this tow[G]n, this town
[C]is killing me now
Oh, I can[F]'t believe I waited so long
[G]From the shopping trolley[C]s on the riverbed
[F]To the sound of the basement's booming
[G]Can I see your fac[C]e in this acid light
[F]Of another suburban eve[G]ning?
As I roll my eye[C]s up to these d[F]irty skies
And count the days till I'll be leaving
[C]I decree there i[G]s a higher plane
Some place of [F]little [C]consequence
And I might [G]see your face again
Before the [F]living an[Am]d the dead
Are [F]re [Am]united[G]
[C]And what is lov[G]e, what is lov[C]e
in the time of [F]ec stasy,
a bad knuckle fight?
And [G]Lord, won't you [C]de liver me
from the [F]wave machine
and the transparent bikini?
[G]Like, isn't there some skel[C]eton army
I [F]should fight that I might vanquish?
[G]Please, won't you [C]listen to me,
your [F]unfaithful servant's
filthy fucking language?
[C]I decree there i[G]s a higher plane,
someplace of [F]little consequence
[C]That I [G]might see your face again
Before the [F]living and the
[Am]dead are [F]re [G]united
[C]And what is lov[G]e?
What is [C]love in the time of ec[F]stasy
and bare -knuckle fighting?
[C]Don't tell me [G]that he died
for [F]that[G]
Counselor forgive [C]me for
I [F]knew not what I vandalized
[C]Don't tell me [G]that he died for [F]that
[G]Take me down to the [C]Paradise Club
Where the [F]girls are drunk and [C]oversized
Don't tell me [G]that he died for [F]that
And there's a [G]crack in the
[C]handle of a corona[F]tion
That I once bore back, [C]I decree
There [G]is a higher plane
Someplace, a [F]little [C]consequence
