Intro:
(BB E MajorE BB E MajorE) x2


Verse:
  BB          E MajorE
The sun went down like a vision on the hill
  BB                E MajorE
She knows she never knew him and she knows she never will
    BB      F#F#      G# minorG#m   E MajorE
And the band played "Where's Your Lost Love Gone?"
  F#F#
On and on

     BB             E MajorE
There was nothing too good for this English Rose
  BB            E MajorE
He knew she had a heart but where God only knows
   BB    F#F#   BB   E MajorE
So he left her nowhere bound
BB     A#A#  A augmentedA
Listen to the sound

Chorus:

  E MajorE
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
BB
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
     BB
They just burned too bright?
BB       A#A#    A augmentedA
Even when they won they always


E MajorE
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
BB
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#F#
Tell their tale, love is not for sale
    BB    E MajorE
It's a word you heard
  F#F#
The last songbird

Verse:

    BB            E MajorE
So they walked for miles in the dead heat sun
BB               E MajorE
From those memories they could never outrun
    BB       F#F#    G# minorG#m   E MajorE
And the band played, "Where Did Our Love Go?"
   F#F#
Who could know?


     BB           E MajorE
He would throw himself at her feet and plead,
BB               E MajorE
give me everything, I want and nothing that I need
    BB    F#F#  BB   E MajorE
But to you I'm always bound
BB     A#A#  A augmentedA
Listen to the sound


Chorus:

  E MajorE
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
BB
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
     BB
They just burned too bright?
BB       A#A#    A augmentedA
Even when they won they always


E MajorE
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
BB
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#F#
Tell their tale love is not for sale
    BB    E MajorE
It's a word you heard
  F#F#
The last songbird


Bridge:
E MajorE
Under this crooked spell
D#mD#m
How could anybody resist?
E MajorE
He keeps her under lock and key
  D#mD#m
She keeps him on her to do list

A augmentedA
Porcelain nights and skin tight moves
   G# minorG#m
They live between the comedy and comedown blues
  A augmentedA
In love and war, all is lost and found
D MajorD            F#F#
Is it just a case of the last shakedown?

     BB
While the world spins every way but 'round and around
    BB          BB
All is simple on the upside down
(BB)    (A#A#) (A augmentedA)
Listen to the sound ----------------

--------------Listen to the sound of....


Chorus:

One hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
