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