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