E MajorE E MajorE
They haunt the boulevards and bars
E MajorE E MajorE
they pray to wishing wells and stars
E MajorE E MajorE
they ride the hurricane of hope
E MajorE 
F# minorF#m BB
not looking back but on they go
E MajorE C# minorC#m
toward the distance and deceiving
F# minorF#m BB
and all the while they keep believing
E MajorE C# minorC#m
they are special and apart
F# minorF#m BB F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.
E MajorE
And when they pair off two by two
E MajorE
they feel they are the chosen few
E MajorE
and though their beds are made of straw
E MajorE F# minorF#m BB
they feel like velvet in the night
E MajorE C# minorC#m
and so the night is never ending
F# minorF#m BB
it?s made of distance and pretending
E MajorE C# minorC#m
coz they?re special and apart
F# minorF#m BB F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.
F# minorF#m
And when love goes away
BB
and when love goes...
E MajorE then hammer on Emaj7Aug
goodbye...
F# minorF#m BB F# minorF#m BB
catches in their throats like cotton
G#G# C# minorC#m
rises in their hearts like rain
F# minorF#m G#G# C# minorC#m
the good times suddenly are all forgotten
F# minorF#m BB E MajorE hammer on Emaj7Aug
the hunt begins again.
E MajorE
They search the subways and the streets
E MajorE
their faces tired, like their feet
E MajorE
their bodies aching to be warm
E MajorE F# minorF#m BB
and so they hide behind the moon
E MajorE
their loneliness inside them growing
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m BB
but they take comfort in just knowing
E MajorE
that they are special and apart
F# minorF#m BB F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
F# minorF#m
And when love comes again
BB
and when love comes
E MajorE hammer EmajAug7
hello...
F# minorF#m BB F# minorF#m BB
rises from their throats like singing
G#G# C# minorC#m
catches in their hearts like wind
F# minorF#m
the good things
G#G# C# minorC#m
strangers in their arms are bringing
F# minorF#m BB E MajorE hammer on EmajAug7
makes life all right again.
E MajorE
They turn their faces to the light
E MajorE
no longer hiding in the night
E MajorE
so unashamed and unafraid
E MajorE F# minorF#m BB
that they can face each other?s faults
E MajorE C# minorC#m
and though the waltz will have its ending
F# minorF#m BB
there is no harm in just pretending
E MajorE C# minorC#m
that they are special and apart
F# minorF#m BB F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
