# Song: Lost the Plot, from the CD Take me to your Leader Artists: Newsboys, lyrics by Steve Taylor and Peter Furler. Transcribed by James Underwood, munderwo@acs.ucalgary.ca. This is probably my favourite song on the entire TMTYL album; It's got a lot of emotion and the lyrics are really powerful. It's a pretty easy song to play and it was the first song I ever really totally figured out. Here it is. Chords used: Em - 022000 D - x5777x C - x3555x G - 320001 Amaj7 - xx7999 Gmaj7 - xx5777 These chords, especially the C and D, sound more like the CD when voiced like this. As for the Amaj7 and Gmaj7, it's close, but I'm pretty sure these aren't the exact chords or voicing used. Intro: (Repeat 4x) E|-----0-------0---| B|-------0-------0-| G|-----------2-----| D|---2-------------| A|---------0-------| E|-0---------------|

^EmWhen you come back ^Dag^Cain Would you ^Embring me something from ^Dthe ^Cfridge' Heard a ^Emrumour that the end ^Dis ^Cnear but I ^Emjust got comforta^Dble ^Chere.

^DSigh. ^Amaj7Let's be ^Dblunt. I'm a ^Amaj7little dist^Dracted. ^Amaj7What do you ^Dwant'

^EmHeadaches and ^Gbad faith are ^Emall that I've ^Ggot. First I ^Emmisplaced the ^Gending then I ^Clost the ^Emplot.

^EmOut among the free-^Drange ^Csheep While the ^Embig birds sharped ^Dtheir ^Cclaws. For a ^Emtime we stuck with the ^Dshep^Cherd but you ^Emwouldn't play San^Dta ^CClaus.

^DSigh. ^Amaj7Let's be ^Dblunt. ^Amaj7We're a little dis^Dtracted. ^Amaj7What do you ^Dwant'

^EmOnce we could ^Gfollow, ^Emnow we can^Gnot. You would ^Emnot fit our ^Gimage, so we ^Clost the ^Emplot.

^EmOnce we could ^Ghear you, now our ^Emsenses are ^Gshot. We've ^Emforgotten our ^Gfirst love We have ^Clost the ^Emplot. ^CLost the ^Emplot.

Interlude(') (Basically just repeatedly: Amaj7 D Gmaj7 C) (This next part may not be quite right, I just did it quickly)

^GWhen I saw you for the ^Emfirst time You were hanging with a ^Gthief And I knew my hands were ^Emdirty,

and I dropped my gaze.

^GThen you said I was ^Emforgiven and you welcomed me with ^Glaughter I was happy ever ^Emafter

I was counting the days

when you'd come back ^Dag^Cain. We'll be waiting for you ^EmWhen you comin' ^Dag^Cain'

We'll be ready for you

^EmMaybe we'll wake ^Dup ^Cwhen... Maybe we'll wake up when ^Emyou come back ^Dag^Cain.

^DLies. ^Amaj7Let's be ^Dblunt. We're a ^Amaj7little unf^Daithful. ^Amaj7What do you ^Dwant'

^EmAre you still ^Glistening' 'Cause we're ^Emobviously ^Gnot. We've ^Emforgotten our ^Gfirst love. We have ^Clost the ^Emplot.

And ^Emwhy are you still ^Gcalling' You ^Emforgave, we for^Ggot. We're such ^Emexperts at ^Gstalling that we've ^Clost the ^Emplot ^Clost the ^Emplot... ^Clost the ^Emplot... ^Clost the ^Emplot.

^EmWhen you come back ^Dag^Cain Would you ^Embring me something from ^Dthe ^Cfridge' Heard a ^Emrumour that the end ^Dis ^Cnear but I ^Emjust got co^Dmfortable ^Chere.
