F What to wear? What to do? What to say? What to wear on a sunny day? Who the phone? Who to fight? Who to dance with on a sunday night? I'm reaching the very edge you know Reaching the very edge I'm going to the other side this time Reaching the very edge Chorus: C G# You're still breathing but you don't know why C G Life's a bit and sometimes you die C G# You're still breathing but you just can't tell C Don't hold your breath G But the pretty things are going to hell C I am a drug, I am a dragon F I am the best jazz you ever seen I am the dragon, I am the sky C I am the blood at the corner of your eye I found the secrets I found gold F I find you out before you grow old I find you out before you grow old What is eternal? What is damned? What is clay and what is sand? Who to diss? Who to trust? Who to listen to? Who to suss? I'm reaching the very edge you know Reaching the very edge I'm going to the other side this time Reaching the very edge Chorus I am the dragon, I am the drug I am your best jazz you've ever heard I am the dragon, I'm the sky I am the blood at the corner of your eye I found the secrets I found gold I found you out before you grow old I found you out before you grow old F The pretty things are going to hell C They wore it out but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well The pretty things are going to hell They wore it out but they wore it well You're still breathing but you don't know why You're still breathing but you just can't tell Don't hold your breath But the pretty things are going to hell You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  F  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
