Verse
B
You've taken the title of this song
G
From a life that's beyond
D C B
Something that you could belong to
G D
But is it wrong to sing along
C Bm
When all of the words
E G
They just get on your nerves
E B
And the verse is ringing out like a curse
[Chorus]
D G
I'm tired of this old refrain
C Bm
Is the chorus you sang
E G
When you had no one to blame
E B
But yourself for singing it all in vain
[Verse 2]
B
You've taken the title of this song
G D
From a book that goes on and on
C B
Til you can't find the ending
G D
Was it a funeral or a wedding
C Bm
Or a seance for the bride
E G
Whose affection had died
E B
Though some say love is suicide
[Chorus]
D G
My heart it don't make any sense
C Bm
Was all that she said
E G
When her love was found dead
E B
But the story was all in her head
[Interlude]
F# E D B
Ah-----
F# E D ... A C B
Ah-----
[Verse 3]
B
You've taken the notes from your head
G
And played them out loud
D C B
On the public announcement instead
G D
Cause all your thoughts get distorted
C Bm
The feedback goes on
E G
And you've ruined the song
E B
While everyone just plays along
[Chorus]
D G
It's only the notes that you've played
C Bm
That drowned out the thoughts
E G
From a song that was lost
E B
And the song you sang it didn't have a name
[Outro]
B C G
B
There was nothing,
C G
But the song we were singing
