F#m

[Verse 1]
F#m                    C#m
Living's so close to loving
            A              G#m
I is the problem, O the solution join in

F#m                  C#m
Circles Not easily broken
           A      G#m
Only when open My I is paper thin

F#m C#m A G#m

F#m                  C#m
Loving you call it sinning
                 A
You stoned the women
        G#m
It's tradition in tribe

F#m                      C#m
Judging From where I'm sitting
                A
You're greenly jealous
         G#m        B
And as lonely as an I


[Chorus 1]
A               E
    A bitter virtue
                   F#m
I'd rather live in sin
                            D
There's pleasure in your suffering
            A
(Y'all say so)

            E
A bitter virtue
                    F#m
I'd rather live in sin
                    D
How can you sit on everything
           A
Y'all say so

E F#m D

[Verse 2]

F#m
Suppress your love
Suppress desire

C#m
Compress a life
Till life expires

A
Hold your breath
In pinched denial

G#m
Complexity


F#m
Live in awe
Love your life

C#m
It's yours to live
Regret forgive

A
Make more mistakes
Regret forgive

F#m
Accept everything

[Chorus 2]

          E
A bitter virtue
                   F#m
I'd rather live in sin
                          D
There's pleasure in your suffering
            A
(Y'all say so)

          E
A bitter virtue
                    F#m
I'd rather live in sin
                    D
How can you sit on everything
          A
Y'all say so

E F#m D

[Verse 3]

F#m                  C#m
Serpents not all in Eden
               A
Not all have poison
          G#m
Tree of knowledge bitten
F#m                    C#m
Heaven no place for artists
               A
Fucked up and human
                  G#m
We're not getting in


[Chorus 3]

          E
A bitter virtue
                   F#m
I'd rather live in sin
                          D
There's pleasure in your suffering
            A
(Y'all say so)

          E
A bitter virtue
                    F#m
I'd rather live in sin
                    D
How can you sit on everything
          A
Y'all say so
