♫ Intro:

G# G# Fm Fm


♫ Verse 1:
G#
You found a chemical seatbelt
Fm
For the loneliness we felt
G#
You built an emptiness headrest
Fm
And you told me it would be best
G#
If I leave and don't contact
Fm
So we wrote up a contract

♫ Chorus 1:
C#         Fm
No lovers
G#                 Fm
There's no lovers here
Fm                 A#m
There's nothing to see here
            G#
Just bones


♫ Verse 2:
G#
I heard the loneliness leaving
Fm
And the metaphors bleeding
G#
Felt the words turn to cliché
Fm
As I repeat the things we say
C#
And it's an elegant thesis
Fm                       D#
Yeah, the structure is decent
C#
But it lacks catachresis
Fm                       D#
And the words drain to meaning
C#
And I fear I won't feel it
Fm                            D#
And well, you know you don't need this
           C#
Right now
           G#
All I ask


♫ Chorus 2:
                   Fm
There's no lovers here
                    C#
There's nothing to hear
             G#
Just words
             Fm
Just words
             G#
Just words
