Up from the pastures of boredom
C#m
Out from the sea of discontent
G#m
They come in packs like hungry hounds

The seekers of the dark enchantment

They haunt the boulevards and bars
EE
They pray to wishing wells and stars
EE
They ride the hurricane of hope
EF#mB
Not looking back but on they go
EC#m
Toward the distance and deceiving
F#mB
And all the while they keep believing
EC#m
They are special and apart
F#mBF#mBC#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
EF#mB
They feel like velvet in the night
EC#m
And so the night is never ending
F#mB
It's made of distance and pretending
EC#m
Coz they're special and apart
F#mBF#mBC#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#mBF#mB
Catches in their throats like cotton
G#C#m
Rises in their hearts like rain
F#mG#C#m
The good times suddenly are all forgotten
F#mB 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
EF#mB
And so they hide behind the moon
E
Their loneliness inside them growing
C#mF#mB
But they take comfort in just knowing
E
That they are special and apart
F#mBF#mBC#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#mBF#mB
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#mB 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
EF#mB
That they can face each other's faults
EC#m
And though the waltz will have its ending
F#mB
There is no harm in just pretending
EC#m
That they are special and apart
F#mBF#mBC#m
The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
