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
