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.

Em D C

When you come back again

Em D C

Would you bring me something from the fridge?

Em D C

Heard a rumor that the end is near

Em D C

but I just got comfortable here.

D

Sigh.

Amaj7 D

Let's be blunt.

Amaj7 D

I'm a little distracted.

Amaj7 D

What do you want?

Em G

Headaches and bad faith

Em G

are all that I've got.

Em G

First I misplaced the ending

C Em

then I lost the plot.

Em D C

Out among the free-range sheep

Em D C

While the big birds sharpen their claws.

Em D C

For a time we stuck with the shepherd

Em D C

but you wouldn't play Santa Claus.

D

Sigh.

Amaj7 D

Let's be blunt.

Amaj7 D

We're a little distracted.

Amaj7 D

What do you want?

Em G

Once we could follow,

Em G

now we cannot.

Em G

You would not fit our image,

C Em

so we lost the plot.

Em G

Once we could hear you,

Em G

now our senses are shot.

Em G

We've forgotten our first love

C Em

We have lost the plot.

C Em

Lost the plot.

Interlude(?)

(Basically just repeatedly: Amaj7 D Gmaj7 C)

(This next part may not be quite right, I just did it quickly)

G Em

When I saw you for the first time

G

You were hanging with a thief

Em

And I knew my hands were dirty,

and I dropped my gaze.

G Em

Then you said I was forgiven

G

and you welcomed me with laughter

Em

I was happy ever after

I was counting the days

D C

when you'd come back again.

We'll be waiting for you

Em D C

When you comin' back again?

We'll be ready for you

Em D C

Maybe we'll wake up when...

Maybe we'll wake up when

Em D C

you come back again.

D

Lies.

Amaj7 D

Let's be blunt.

Amaj7 D

We're a little unfaithful.

Amaj7 D

What do you want?

Em G

Are you still listening?

Em G

'Cause we're obviously not.

Em G

We've forgotten our first love.

C Em

We have lost the plot.

Em G

And why are you still calling?

Em G

You forgave, we forgot.

Em G

We're such experts at stalling

C Em

that we've lost the plot

C Em C Em C Em

lost the plot... lost the plot... lost the plot.

Em D C

When you come back again

Em D C

Would you bring me something from the fridge?

Em D C

Heard a rumour that the end is near

Em D C

but I just got comfortable here.
