Chords for Chris Martin of Coldplay + REMs Michael Stipe: Losing My Religion 121212concert

_ _ _ I'm so grateful to be here and it's such an honor and a pleasure _ as _ one of the many _ British singers that your beautiful state has [C] adopted.
It [Fm] means a lot to [B] me to be here and _ [Ab] I know that you really wanted One Direction but it's way past their bedtime.
So _ _ _ that's why you get one quarter of Coldplay.
_ _ _ [G] Anyway, I felt like it would be kind of a shame to just have one singer without a band.
So _ [Em] I tried to get the guy from [Eb] Gangnam Style, he wasn't [Db] available.
_ [N] Instead I had to settle for another adopted New Yorker from Athens, Georgia.
Please welcome Michael Stipe from R.E.M.

[G] Hello New York!
This is really happening now.
_ [E] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [E] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ Oh, _ [Am] life _ is bigger, _
_ [Em] it's bigger than [C] you and you [Am] are not me.
The lengths that I [Em] will go to, the distance in your [Am] eyes. _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ I know I've said too [Dm] _ much. _ _
I [G] said it all. _ _ _
[Am] That's me in the corner. _ _ _ _
That's [E] me in the spotlight.
_ _ [C] Losing my [Am] religion. _ _ _
Trying [Em] to keep up with you.
And [Am] I don't know if I can do it.
[Em] _ I know I've said too [Dm] _ much.
I haven't [G] said enough.
_ I thought that I heard [F] you laughing.
_ I thought [G] that I heard [Am] you sing.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ I [F] think I thought I saw [Am] you try.
_ _ [G] _ _
Every [Em] [Am] whisper _ of every waking [Em] hour.
_ I'm choosing my [Am] _ confessions. _ _ _
[Em] Trying to keep an eye on you.
Like [Am] a hurt, lost and blinded fool.
_ _ [Em] I know I've said [Dm] too much. _ _
I said [G] it all. _ _ _ _
Consider [Am] _ this.
_ Consider _ [Em] this.
The hint of the century.
_ [Am] Consider this.
The slip _ _ [Em] that brought me to my knees.
_ [Am] What if all these _ [Em] fantasies come _ flailing around?
Now [Dm] I've said _ _ too _ [G] _ much.
I thought that I [F] heard you laughing.
_ _ I thought that [Am] I heard you sing. _ _ _ _
_ [F] I think I thought I saw you [Am] try.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ That _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ was just [Em] a dream.
_ _ [C] That was [G] just a dream.
[Am] That's me in the corner. _ _ _
That's me in [Em] the spotlight.
_ Losing my [Am] religion. _ _ _
Trying [Em] to keep up with you.
And [Am] I don't know if I can do it.
_ [Em] _ I know I've said [Dm] too much.
I haven't [G] said enough.
_ I thought that I [F] heard you laughing.
_ I thought that I [Am] heard you sing. _ _ _ _ _
[F] I think I thought I saw you [Am] try.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
[F] But that was just a dream. _
[Am] _ Try and cry and fly and try.
[F] That was just a dream.
[Am] Just a dream.
_ [G] Just a dream. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
