[C#m] Up from the pastures of boredom, out from the sea of [G#m] discontent,
They come in packs like hungry [B] hounds, up the seekers of the dark [C#m] enchantment.
[E] [Am] [E]
They haunt the boulevards and bars, they pray to wishing wells and stars,
They ride the hurricane of hope, [A] not looking back but on they go.
[B] Towards the [E] distance and deceiving, [C#m] and all the while they [F#m] keep believing,
[B] They are [E] special and apart, [C#m] [C#] the [F#m] lovers, [B] the lovers [F#m] of the heart, [B] [C#m] the lovers.
[E]
And when they pair off two by two, they feel they are the chosen few,
And though their beds are made of straw, it feels like [F#m] velvet in the [C#] [B] night,
[E] And so the night is never ending, [C#m] it's made of [F#m] distance and pretending,
[B] Because they're [E] special and apart, [C#m]
the [F#m] lovers, [B] the lovers [F#m] of the heart, [B] the [C#m] lovers.
[Gm] [D] And [F#m]
when love goes away,
[C#m] [B]
[G#] [D] [E] Goodbye,
[F#m] [B] catches in their throats [F#m] like [B] cotton,
[G#] rises in their [C#m] hearts like rain,
[F#m] Good times [G#] suddenly are [C#m] all forgotten, the [F#m] hunt [G#m] begins [E] again.
They search the subways and the streets, their faces tired like their feet,
Their bodies aching to be warm, and so they [F#m] hide behind the moon,
[B] The loneliness [E] inside them growing, [C#m] and they take [F#m] comfort in just [A] knowing,
[B] That they are [E] special and apart, [C#m] [F#m] the lovers, [B] the lovers [F#m] of the heart, [B] [C#m] the lovers.
And when love [F#m] comes again, [G#m] and when love comes,
[E] Hello,
[F#m] [B] rises from their [F#m] throats like [B]
singing, [G#] and catches in their [C#m] hearts like wind,
[F#m] The good things [G#]
strangers in their [C#m] arms are bringing, [F#m] makes life [G#m] all right.
One more, Jonathan, promise.
[E] Again, they turn their faces to the light, no longer hiding in the night,
So unashamed and unafraid that [G#m] they can [F#m] face each other's faults,
[B] And though the [E] walls will have its ending, [C#m] there's no [F#m] harm in just pretending,
[A] [B] That they are [E] special and apart, [B] [C#m] the [F#m]
lovers, [B] the lovers [A] of the heart, [B] [C#m] the lovers.
They come in packs like hungry [B] hounds, up the seekers of the dark [C#m] enchantment.
