Up from the pastures of boredom
Out from the sea of discontent
they come in packs like hungry hounds
the seekers of the dark enchantment.
(For this bit you play over the first and second verses. This is how you pick out the
for the chord but for the rest of the chords its just easy, just listen to the song)
(Pick out the notes below)
They haunt the boulevards and bars
they pray to wishing wells and stars
they ride the hurricane of hope
not looking back but on they Go
toward the distance and deceiving
and all the while they keep believing
they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.
And when they pair off two by two
they feel they are the chosen few
and though their beds are made of straw
they feel like velvet in the night
and so the night is never ending
it's made of distance and pretending
coz they're special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.
And when love goes away
and when love goes...
then hammer on Bmaj7Aug
goodbye...
catches in their throats like cotton
rises in their hearts like rain
the good times suddenly are all forgotten
hammer on Bmaj7Aug
the hunt begins again.
They search the subways and the streets
their faces tired, like their feet
their bodies aching to be warm
and so they hide behind the moon
their loneliness inside them growing
but they take comfort in just knowing
that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
And when love comes again
and when love comes
hammer BmajAug7
hello...
rises from their throats like singing
catches in their hearts like wind
the good things
strangers in their arms are bringing
hammer on BmajAug7
makes life all right again.
They turn their faces to the light
no longer hiding in the night
so unashamed and unafraid
that they can face each other's faults
and though the waltz will have its ending
there is no harm in just pretending
that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.
