The Lovers

C#m
 Up from the pastures of boredom
C#m
 Out from the sea of discontent
G#m
 they come in packs like hungry 
hounds
G#
 the seekers of the dark 
enchantment.

[Verse]

E                                E
 They haunt the boulevards and bars
E                             
 they pray to wishing wells and 
   E
stars
E                                E
 they ride the hurricane of hope
E                             F#m
 not looking back but on they go
   B

                               E   
 toward the distance and deceiving
 C#m

 and all the while they keep 
    F#m   B
believing
                        E    C#m
 they are special and apart
      F#m   B                
 the lovers, the lovers of the 
   F#m   B        C#m
heart... the lovers.


[Verse 2]

E
 And when they pair off two by two
E
 they feel they are the chosen few
E
 and though their beds are made of 
straw
E                              
 they feel like velvet in the 
F#m  B
night
                              E    
 and so the night is never ending
 C#m

Continues after the ad
 it’s made of distance and 
   F#m  B
pretending
                          E   C#m
 coz they’re special and apart
      F#m  B                 
 the lovers, the lovers of the 
   F#m  B        C#m
heart... the lovers.


[Pre-Chorus]

                       F#m
 And when love goes away
                   B
 and when love goes...
       E then hammer on Emaj7Aug
 goodbye...


[Chorus]

  F#m     B                  
 catches in their throats like 
   F#m   B
cotton
G#                            C#m
 rises in their hearts like rain
   F#m           G#            
 the good times suddenly are all 
      C#m
forgotten
        F#m     B      E hammer on 
Emaj7Aug
 the hunt begins again.


[Verse 3]

E
 They search the subways and the 
streets
E
 their faces tired, like their feet
E
 their bodies aching to be warm
E                            F#m  B
 and so they hide behind the moon
 their loneliness inside them 
  E
growing
C#m                          
 but they take comfort in just 
    F#m  B
knowing
                             E
 that they are special and apart
       F#m  B                
 the lovers, the lovers of the 
   F#m  B           C#m
heart... the lovers


[Pre-Chorus]

                         F#m
 And when love comes again
                    B
 and when love comes
        E hammer EmajAug7
 hello...


[Chorus]

 F#m  B                      
 rises from their throats like 
   F#m  B
singing
  G#                           C#m
 catches in their hearts like wind
  F#m
 the good things
 G#                         
 strangers in their arms are 
    C#m
bringing
           F#m      B       E hammer
 on EmajAug7
 makes life all right again.



[Verse 4]

E
 They turn their faces to the light
E
 no longer hiding in the night
E
 so unashamed and unafraid
E                                
 that they can face each other’s 
F#m  B
faults
 and though the waltz will have its 
  E   C#m
ending
                              F#m  B
 there is no harm in just pretending
                           E   C#m
 that they are special and apart
       F#m  B                
 the lovers, the lovers of the 
   F#m  B       C#m
heart... the lovers.
