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