[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C]
[Am][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Every song,
[G]every book, every work,
ever made [C]since time began
[Am]They're all about the same [G]things,
sex and death
[C]So let's go back
To [Am]all the single cells
who [G]lived primordial
They [C]didn't have to multiply
They didn't have to age and die
[Am]When we left the ocean
for sexu[G]al reproduction
The reap[C]er came soon after
Turned us all into cadavers
Our [G]friendships made [Am]us all mean
And [F]split us off in twos
[C]So without dea[G]th there would be no [Am]love,
without [F]love there'd be no [C]you
[G]Biology is [Am]tragedy,
but [F]I'm pretending to
[C]All[F] good things must,
[G]all good things must [C]die[Am]
We [F]pay the price for [C]love
And [Am]I
Would [F]never give you [C]up[Am][G][C]
Lot[Am]s of genesis, it's ju[G]st paralysis
The [C]dominion dead
and the limitation we can transcend
[Am]Even though some day
we'll get [G]old ugly grey
[C]It's an easy sacrifice,
it's a bargain at the price
Real[G]ity is [Am]bit tersweet
but [F]there's no day I'll [C]rue
For [G]without death there
would be [Am]no love,
without [F]love there'd be no [C]you
Bio[G]logy is [Am]tragedy,
I [F]don't care that we're [C]doomed
[F]All good things must en[G]d,
all good things must [C]die[Am]
We [F]played our rights for [C]her
And [Am]I would ne[F]ver give you up[C]
May[E]be it's the [F]oxytocin
talk[C]ing when I [G]say
That [Em]I refus[E]e to let[Em] you[F] go
until [C]I pass a[G]way
Who [E]wants to [F]live forever[C]?
[Em]Something I'd nev[F]er [C]choose
I'd [E]sacrifice [F]etern[C]ity[Am]
[F]Just like Superman [G]too
Our brain machines made [Am]dope of me
and [F]spit us off in twos
[C]But without [G]death there would be [Am]no love,
[F]without love there'd be no [C]you
We [Am]die
And [F]we love life for [C]love
And [Am]I
Would [F]never give you [C]up
All things must [Am]die
And [F]we love life for [C]love
And I [Am]would nev[F]er give,
would [C]never give,
would [Am]never give,
would [F]never give,
would [C]never give you up
Our brain machines make dopamine
and split us off in twos
But without death there
would be no love,
without love there'd be no you
Without death there would be no love,
without love there'd be no you you
