Song: The Lovers Are Losing
Album: Perfect Symmetry

Capo 1

What’s Up

I dreamed I was drowning
In the river Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hands
Into river
Saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past, and I saw my future

Chorus:
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don’t like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You’re full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
The young lovers dance
I reached out to touch your hair
But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I tried to hold onto what we are
The more I squeeze, the quicker we’re over

Chorus

I dreamed I had nothing at all
I dreamed I had nothing at all

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don’t like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You’re full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Looks like
The lovers are losing

YOU HAVEN’T TOLD ME ANYTHING
KEANE

VERSE:
In the pearl grey room
One afternoon, in one afternoon
What you gonna do?
I [(F)]hang on your words but there’s nothing new

You take a beautiful thing
Pull off a wing, pull off a wing
The safety pin[(Em][-][F)]
They [(F)]never shine quite as bright again

CHORUS (intro riff played over the chords):
But you haven’t told me anything
[(G)]That I didn’t already know
No you haven’t said a single thing
[(G)]That I didn’t already know

VERSE(Same C – G – F – G progression):
Everything I love
Stuck in the mud, stuck in the mud
Stuck in a rut
Not a piece in your puzzle or a paper cut
So same time next week
Kiss on the cheek, kiss on the cheek
And say after me
Everything’s tied up nice and neat

CHORUS (intro riff played over the chords):
But you haven’t told me anything
[(G)]That I didn’t already know
No you haven’t sold me anything
[(G)]That I didn’t already own

BRIDGE:
I feel for you
I really do
Nothing adds up like you want it too
No words can mend
This fix I’m in
Give me your words, I won’t even blink
Right between the eyes, I won’t feel a thing

CHORUS (intro riff played over the chords):
But you haven’t told me anything
[(G)]That I didn’t already know
No you haven’t said a single thing
[(G)]That I didn’t already know

OUTRO:
No you haven’t told me anything
[(G)]No you haven’t told me anything
No you haven’t told me anything
[(G)]No you haven’t told me anything

STANDARD TUNING – CAPO 3 (Scroll down for no-capo version)

INTRO: G – C

VERSE: (same schords as intro)
At the start of the news day, the fires begin
In words and in pictures, but I’m not listening
I’m not taking it in
I’m going to go to the country, where nothing goes on
Going to bury my head, where I can’t hear the sound of bombs
Playing along

CHORUS:
Me, I’m just playing along
You and I, so many good people all
Just playing along

VERSE:
I’m gonna go to a bar, where is the jukebox is on
Going to shut out the noise, with a rock’n’roll song
Playing along

BRIDGE:
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
Till I can’t even think

[-] [-] [-]
Tell us a tale of the proud and the free
Sing us a swingtime American melody
From ‘Follow The Fleet'

CHORUS:
Me, I’m just playing along
You and I, a billion people all
Just playing along

OUTRO:
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
Till I can’t even think
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
I’m going to turn up the volume
Till I can’t even think

I’m going to turn up the volume
Till I can’t even think

Repeat until end.

Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that
I had planned, the map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now
