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