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