The Good Life is the side project of Tim Kasher from Cursive. I've had trouble finding
tabs for The Good Life, so I decided to try my hand at it. I've only been playing guita
 a year or so, so my ear may be off, feel free to correct me.

Intro 

A  Bm  G  D    x2

A                Bm 
You look at me like you've been saved
G                 D
From another one that got away. 
A                Bm
So I'm your latest cup of tea
G                D
To keep your cold hands company, 
(here it becomes more picking, less strumming)
A            Bm
And I will warm you. 
G           D    
I will calm you down
A           Bm   
Until those waters
G           D
Are ready to be sailed upon,
A        Bm         G    D
    Under a honeymoon. 
A        Bm         G    D
    Under a honeymoon.

A                   Bm
You say you've never felt this way
G                  D
At least not this early.
A                Bm
We decide to hold nothing back -
G                 D
We'll act how we want to act. 
A          Bm       G          D
And so, eventually, we became pretty good actors.
A          Bm        G         D
Acting and reacting and acting and reacting
A        Bm         G    D
    Under a honeymoon. 
A        Bm         G    D
    Under a honeymoon.

A             Bm
We know the sun is gonna rise,
G             D
We tell ourselves to act surprised,
A              Bm
We're comforted in our denial 
G               D
That dark love can be reconciled
(strum each chord once softly here)
A        Bm          G     D
Oh please, oh please, .... reconcile me
A           Bm
From all these bad actors, 

All these bad endings.
(resume normal strumming)

A  Bm  G  D

A        Bm         G    D
    Under a honeymoon. 
A        Bm         G    D
    Under a honeymoon.
A                      Bm        
We want what we're not and we don't want to stop
G
'cause it feels right -
D
or at least it's feeling good,

A  A  A
A  Bm   G    D
....at least it feels good...
A  Bm   G    D

(strum each chord once softly for the end)
A                 Bm
I always fall in love too soon, 
G                            D
Caught beneath the glow of a honeymoon
