D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love
        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love

D#m
I used to pray to a glossy page
  B           F#        G#m
A cut out from a magazine
D#m
I was afraid of real things
      B           F#                 G#m
And I couldn't get to sleep to dream
D#m
My mom came out and I was mean
        B          F#           G#m
I said, what a slap in the face
D#m
Then she got sick and lost her hair
             B           F#                 G#m
And then her partner died of the same thing

D#m
My mom survived, but we lost Joan
    B        F#            G#m
The day before New York legalized love
D#m
And the streets were full of young and old
    B         F#           G#m
And shiny new rings exchanged in gold

        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         G#m  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love
        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         G#m  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love

D#m
I kissed a girl and felt no shame
     B           F#    G#m
With Katy on the radio
D#m
I told my mom that we were the same
    B              F#         G#m
She said we've got ways to go

D#m
And I've known love that's wider than
     B           F#        G#m
The place in the middle where it's painted red
D#m                                     B
And I believe that fear is weaker than love
          F#              G#m
Just like the magazine read

        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love
        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love

      B9        F#             
This life is imperfect
     B9       F#         
And love is a mess
           B9              F#                 
I want the right to fuck it up
           B9     F#
Just like anybody else
                     G#m
Just like everybody else

        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love
        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love

        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love
        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love

        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love
        D#m           B F#
For the love, for the love
         B  F#      G#m
For the love, for the love

D#m
I used to pray to a glossy page
