Tom: E
Dbm
Up from the pastures of boredom
Dbm
Out from the sea of discontent
Abm
They come in packs like hungry hounds
Ab
The seekers of the dark enchantment
E E
They haunt the boulevards and bars
E E
They pray to wishing wells and stars
E E
They ride the hurricane of hope
E Gbm B
Not looking back but on they go
E Dbm
Toward the distance and deceiving
Gbm B
And all the while they keep believing
E Dbm
They are special and apart
Gbm B Gbm B Dbm
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
E
And when they pair off two by two
E
They feel they are the chosen few
E
And though their beds are made of straw
E Gbm B
They feel like velvet in the night
E Dbm
And so the night is never ending
Gbm B
It’s made of distance and pretending
E Dbm
Coz they’re special and apart
Gbm B Gbm B Dbm
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
Gbm
And when love goes away
B
And when love goes
E then hammer on
E7M
Goodbye
Gbm B Gbm B
Catches in their throats like cotton
Ab Dbm
Rises in their hearts like rain
Gbm Ab Dbm
The good times suddenly are all forgotten
Gbm B E hammer on
E7M
The hunt begins again
E
They search the subways and the streets
E
Their faces tired, like their feet
E
Their bodies aching to be warm
E Gbm B
And so they hide behind the moon
E
Their loneliness inside them growing
Dbm Gbm B
But they take comfort in just knowing
E
That they are special and apart
Gbm B Gbm B Dbm
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
Gbm
And when love comes again
B
And when love comes
E hammer
E7M
Hello
Gbm B Gbm B
Rises from their throats like singing
Ab Dbm
Catches in their hearts like wind
Gbm
The good things
Ab Dbm
Strangers in their arms are bringing
Gbm B E hammer on
E7M
Makes life all right again
E
They turn their faces to the light
E
No longer hiding in the night
E
So unashamed and unafraid
E Gbm B
That they can face each other’s faults
E Dbm
And though the waltz will have its ending
Gbm B
There is no harm in just pretending
E Dbm
That they are special and apart
Gbm B Gbm B Dbm
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
