[Verse 1]
D                       F#m
What’s better than understanding?
                   A           G             D
What’s better than knowing the price of your sin?
                        F#m
What’s better than understanding?
          A        G    D
Don’t you dare say ignorance

D              F#m           A   G            D
One bright February, we were all showing some skin
                   F#m
The gods they were laughing
          A                              G                      D
They were playin’ their cards, they were placing their bets all in
            F#m                                   A         G            A
They said, “Play now, play now, play now, you pay later for price of this sin.”

Don’t wait for me ... no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
D                   F#m
I grew weary of the threshold
        A               G              D
Yeah, I know, I know, I know I like to see
     D                         F#m                  A             G      D
Take matters like that in your own hands, you might drown on your own company

D                          F#m
Oh, but the gods they were laughing
           A               G            D
Can you believe, they were calling me a fool?
            F#m                                   A         G             A
They said, “Play now, play now, play now, you pay later for price of this too.”

 D             Bm             A
Don’t wait for me ... no, no, no, no, no

[Outro]
D                       F#m
What’s better than understanding?
                   A             G              D
What’s better than knowing just right where you stand?
                        F#m
What’s better than understanding?
          A        G    D
Don’t you dare say ignorance
          A        G    D
Don’t you dare say ignorance
