[Intro]
N.C.
I think I take myself too serious, it's not that serious
Em
Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah
C Em
Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah
Bm6/G# C#7 Am6/F# B7 Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Alone in someone's bedroom, she firmly took my hand
The isolation ended, I began to understand
C
In the ping-pong match of constant desire, I was never gonna get ahead
Em
'Cause I was lookin' in the mirror
[Chorus 1]
Bm6/G# C#7
Now we've got that sympathy
Am6/F# B7
What I'm to you, you are to me
Em
Let's go
(Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah)
[Verse 2]
Em
Judeo-Christianity, I'd never heard the words
Enemies for centuries, until there was a third
C
In the ping-pong match of constant desire, I was never gonna get ahead
Em
'Cause I was lookin' in the mirror
[Chorus 2]
Bm6/G# C#7
Now we've got that sympathy
Am6/F# B7
What I'm to you, you are to me
Em
Let's go
[Verse 3]
Em
Diego Garcia, surrounded by the waves
Lonely in the ocean, but in every other way
C
It was full of love
Em
In the warmest fellow-feeling
[Chorus 3]
Bm6/G# C#7
Now we've got that sympathy
Am6/F# B7
What I'm to you, you are to me
Em
Let's go
(Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah)
[Verse 4]
Em
I didn't have your sympathy, but I knew where to start
Explaining to you patiently that the one who broke my heart
C
Would have broken yours
Em
And thrown the pieces in the river
[Chorus 4]
Bm6/G# C#7
Now we've got that sympathy
Am6/F# B7
What I'm to you, you are to me
Em
Let's go
[Bridge]
Em
Sympa-
(Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah)
C Em
Sympa-
(Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah)
Em
Let's go, let's go
(Sympa-)
C Em
Sympa-, let's go
Bm6/G# C#7 Am6/F# B7
Sympa-
Em
Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah
[Verse 5]
Em
Desperate for an enemy, but too afraid to kill
Use the pain of someone else and triumph for their will
C
And spill the blood
Em
Of the arrogant mosquitoes
[Chorus 5]
Bm6/G# C#7
Now we've got that sympathy
Am6/F# B7
What I'm to you, you are to me
Em
Let's go
(Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah)
(Ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah ah-ah, ah ah ah)
