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