Sufjan Stevens feat Angelo De Augustine - This Is The Thing

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
E F#m C#m
This is the thing about people
B F#m
You never really know what’s inside
E F#m C#m
Somewhere in the soul there’s a secret
B F#m
Hysteria grows where it was invited
E F#m C#m
This is the thing thing about fiction
B F#m
How everything feeds on it’s paranoia
E F#m C#m
Wrapping it all up in tradition
B F#m
Now fill up the cup, go and drink your poison

[Chorus]
A E B F#m
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B F#m
Live it up for the path of resistance

[Verse 2]
E F#m C#m
This is the thing about confusion
B F#m
You never really know what you’ll find
E F#m C#m
You tell me what it means to be human
B F#m
The freedom you seek is to free your mind

[Chorus]
A E B F#m
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B F#m
Live it up for the path of resistance

[Verse 3]
E F#m C#m
This is the thing about evil
B F#m
You never really know where it’s hiding
E F#m C#m
Find your phantom in the cathedral
B F#m
The more you search for it, the less you’ll find

[Chorus]
A E B F#
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B F#
Live it up for the path of resistance
A E B F#
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
A E
So give it all up, give it distance
B C#m
Live it up for the path of resistance

G#m B Am A
