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

(Pick out the notes below)
E They haunt the boulevards and baErs
E they pray to wishing wells and sEtars
E they ride the hurricane of hope E
E not looking back but on they F#mgo B
toward the distance and deceivEing C#m
and all the while they keep beliF#meving B
they are special and apEart C#m
the lF#movers,B the lovers of the hF#meart..B. the lovC#mers.
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 they feel like velvet in the nF#might B
and so the night is never endEing C#m
it’s made of distance and preF#mtendiBng
coz they’re special and aEpartC#m
the lF#moversB, the lovers of the hF#meart.B.. the loC#mvers.
And when love goes awaF#my
and when love goesB...
E then hammer on E5+
goodbye...
cF#matches iBn their throats like cF#motton B
G# rises in their hearts like raC#min
thF#me good times sG#uddenly are all forgC#motten
the hunF#mt beginsB again.E
E They search the subways and the streets
E their faces tired, like their feet
E their bodies aching to be warm
E and so they hide behind the F#mmoon B
their loneliness inside them grEowing
C#m but they take comfort in just knF#mowingB
that they are special and apEart
the loF#mvers,B the lovers of the hF#meart.B.. the loverC#ms
And when love comes agaiF#mn
and when love comesB
E then hammer on E5+
hello...
F#mrisesB from their throats like sF#minginBg
cG#atches in their hearts like wC#mind
tF#mhe good things
G#strangers in their arms are briC#mnging
makes lifeF#m all righBt again.E
E They turn their faces to the light
E no longer hiding in the night
E so unashamed and unafraid
E that they can face each other’s F#mfaultBs
and though the waltz will have its enEdingC#m
there is no harm in just pretF#mendinBg
that they are special and EaparC#mt
the loF#mvers,B the lovers of the hF#meart.B.. the lC#movers.
