The Poets Dead chords by Rah Rah

[Verse]

C                  
It's not just that 
      E          F
I was scared back then, 

      E        C
I was scared of when
              E F           E     G
You'd finally realize what I hide inside
                 E      
A soul that has hurt and 
 F                       C
cried through cheats and lies
                      E    
I'm sorry dear, but that's 
  F                  C
behind these longing eyes
 
 
[Chorus]

C F E E

[Verse]

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

                       E     
The poetry is in your head, 
                  F
though the poet's dead 
                       E    
The poetry is in your head, 
                  C
though the poet's dead
 
 
[Verse]

               E       F      E     C
Darling let's take the time to evolve past
                      E         F     
These nervous laughs, be comfortable 
               E   G
through our silences
        E   F               E   C
Like a scientist with his experiments
                E   F             C
Just waiting on reactions on reactions
 
 
C F E E

[Verse]

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

                       E     
The poetry is in your head, 
                  F
though the poet's dead
                       E     
The poetry is in your head, 
                  G
though the poet's dead
                       F      
The poetry is in your head, 
                   C
though the poet's dead
              E       F
The poetry is in your head. 

It's in your...

you'll dress like you don't care
                 E       F     
The poetry, it's in your head, 
             F
it's in your head
 
 
[Outro]
                       E   
The poetry is in your head, 
                  F
though the poet's dead
                       E   
The poetry is in your head, 
                  G
though the poet's dead
                       F    
The poetry is in your head, 
                   C
though the poet's dead
              E       F     
The poetry is in your head. 
             C
It's in your head
 
              F        E     
The poetry is in your head, 
                  C
though the poet's dead
              F        E    
The poetry is in your head, 
                  C
though the poet's dead
              F        E   
The poetry is in your head, 
                  C
though the poet's dead
              F        E    
The poetry is in your head, 
                  C
though the poet's dead
