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
x2
You look at me like you've been saved
From another one that got away.
So I'm your latest cup of tea
To keep your cold hands company,
(here it becomes more picking, less strumming)
And I will warm you.
I will calm you down
Until those waters
Are ready to be sailed upon,
Under a honeymoon.
Under a honeymoon.
You say you've never felt this way
At least not this early.
We decide to hold nothing back -
We'll act how we want to act.
And so, eventually, we became pretty good actors.
Acting and reacting and acting and reacting
Under a honeymoon.
Under a honeymoon.
We know the sun is gonna rise,
We tell ourselves to act surprised,
We're comforted in our denial
That dark love can be reconciled
(strum each chord once softly here)
Oh please, oh please, .... reconcile me
From all these bad actors,
All these bad endings.
(resume normal strumming)
Under a honeymoon.
Under a honeymoon.
We want what we're not and we don't want to stop
'cause it feels right -
or at least it's feeling good,
....at least it feels good...
(strum each chord once softly for the end)
I always fall in love too soon,
Caught beneath the glow of a honeymoon
