The Lovers

	  		
C#m 
 Up from the pastures of boredom 
C#m 
 Out from the sea of discontent 
G#m 
 They come in packs like hungry hounds 
G# 
 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                             F#m   B 
 Not looking back but on they go 
                              E    C#m 
Toward the distance and deceiving 
                                F#m   B 
And all the while they keep believing 
                       E    C#m 
They are special and apart 
     F#m   B                   F#m   B        C#m 
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                              F#m  B 
 They feel like velvet in the night 
                             E     C#m 
And so the night is never ending 
                             F#m  B 
It's made of distance and pretending 
                         E   C#m 
Coz they're special and apart 
     F#m  B                    F#m  B        C#m 
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers 

                      F#m 
And when love goes away 
                  B 
And when love goes 
      E then hammer on E7M 
Goodbye 

 F#m     B                     F#m   B 
Catches in their throats like cotton 
G#                            C#m 
 Rises in their hearts like rain 
  F#m           G#                  C#m 
The good times suddenly are all forgotten 
       F#m     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                            F#m  B 
 And so they hide behind the moon 
                               E 
Their loneliness inside them growing 
C#m                              F#m  B 
 But they take comfort in just knowing 
                            E 
That they are special and apart 
      F#m  B                   F#m  B           C#m 
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers 

                        F#m 
And when love comes again 
                   B 
And when love comes 
       E hammer E7M 
Hello 
F#m  B                         F#m  B 
Rises from their throats like singing 
 G#                           C#m 
Catches in their hearts like wind 
 F#m 
The good things 
G#                             C#m 
Strangers in their arms are bringing 
          F#m      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                                F#m  B 
 That they can face each other's faults 
                                     E   C#m 
And though the waltz will have its ending 
                             F#m  B 
There is no harm in just pretending 
                          E   C#m 
That they are special and apart 
      F#m  B                   F#m  B       C#m 
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
