D                        F#          G            F#        D
It's not just that I was scared back then, I was scared of when
              F# G           F#     A
You'd finally realize what I hide inside
                 F#        G                       D
A soul that has hurt and cried through cheats and lies
                      F#      G                  D
I'm sorry dear, but that's behind these longing eyes

[Verse 2]
D               F#        G            F#        D
Given how much time you spend equating your own head
                     F#      G           F#       A
You really shoulda known by now what it takes to love
                F#      G                                  D
For you I will bite my tongue and hold you if you need someone
                 F#      G                   G
The poetry, it's in your head, it's in your head


[Chorus]
                       F#                      G
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
                       F#                      D
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead


[Verse 3]
               F#       G      F#     D
Darling let's take the time to evolve past
                      F#         G                F#   A
These nervous laughs, be comfortable through our silences
        F#   G               F#   D
Like a scientist with his experiments
                F#   G             D
Just waiting on reactions on reactions


D G F# F#
D G F# F#


[Verse 4]
D               F#    G                              D
Like all of us socialists, born to hope, raised to fail
                F#    G                   F#        A
Like all of us socialists, born to hope, raised to fail
                     F#      G                                 D
I'll dress up in my western wear, you'll dress like you don't care
                 F#       G                  G
The poetry, it's in your head, it's in your head


[Chorus]

The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
                       G                       D
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
              F#       G
The poetry is in your head. It's in your...


[Verse 5]
D                        F#          G            F#        D
It's not just that I was scared back then, I was scared of when

                 F#       G                  G
The poetry, it's in your head, it's in your head


[Outro]
                       F#                      G

The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead

The poetry is in your head. It's in your head

              G        F#                      D
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
