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

B
 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...

  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
 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

 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
 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.
