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