The Lovers Are Losing

	  		 

F  C 
F  C 
     What's Up 

C 
I dreamed I was drowning 
Am  
 In the river Thames 
G 
 I dreamed I had nothing at all 
F                       C 
Nothing but my own skin 

Am                     D 
Slipped away from your open hands 
Bb    F 
 Into river  
Am                    D 
Saw your face looking back at me 
Bb                  F              C 
 I saw my past, and I saw my future 

Chorus: 
                           F 
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have 
                                C 
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going 
                                F 
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor 
                             C 
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging 
                  Bb 
Put it all back together 
                        F 
But any way you look at this 
      C 
Looks like 
               G 
The lovers are losing 

C 
 I dreamed I was watching 
Am 
 The young lovers dance 
G 
 I reached out to touch your hair 
          F                        C 
But I was watching from a distance 

Am                       D 
 We cling to love like a skidding car 
Bb          F 
Clings to a corner 
Am                    D 
 I tried to hold onto what we are 
Bb                      F             C 
The more I squeeze, the quicker we're over 

Chorus 

G                              C  G 
I dreamed I had nothing at all 
I dreamed I had nothing at all 

                           F 
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have 
                                C 
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going 
                                F 
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor 
                             C 
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging 
                  Bb 
Put it all back together 
                       F 
But in the final reckoning 
      C 
Looks like 
               G 
The lovers are losing
