[Intro]
C  |  G/B  |  Gm  |  F
C  |  Am   |  Dm  |  F
 
[Verse 1]
    C               G/B
Ah, who blinks first
                Gm
You're gonna win
           F                    C
The fallen doves of lovers' vows
       Am        Dm     F
In the world all around us
        C                      G/B
And I'd like if you've got the time
Gm   F
  To talk to you about
C           Am          Dm        F
  What this breakup has done to me.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       C   Dm
I have lost
    C              Dm                    Am
The feeling that I thought I'd never lose
C                F      C
  Now where am I going?
        C    Dm
At what cost
    C              Dm                     Am
The feeling that I thought I'd never lose?
C          F     C
  It is barbaric.
 
 
[Verse 2]
    C             G/B             Gm
Ah, you can't play  to every taste
           F                  C
The powder keg of common cause
       Am       Dm    F
All of us carry trau- ma
       C               G/B
And in lieu of an explanation
Gm       F
  I will pour oil from the cup
C        Am          Dm    F
  On the pyre of abdica - ation.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         C   Dm
You have lost
    C                Dm                      Am
The feeling that you thought you'd never lose
C                   F      C
  Now where are you going, darling?
        C    Dm
At what cost
    C                Dm                       Am
The feeling that you thought you'd never lose?
C              F     C
  And it is barbaric.
 
 
[Bridge]
C G/B Am                   G
       Empty grove, winter darkness
      G#                             G
We're taking down the scaffolds very soon
        Am                             G#
Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plane tree
                                    G
The can of soup and heating up to ten
               F
Which leads me to the part
          G        Gadd11    G
Where we agreed on different dreams...
 
 
[Chorus 3]
          C   Dm
That we'd lost
    C               Dm                     Am
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
C                  F     C
  Now where are we going?
        C    Dm
At what cost
    C                Dm                      Am
The feelings that we thought we'd never lose?
C          F     C
  It is barbaric.
 
 
[Chorus 4]
        C    Dm
We have lost
    C               Dm                     Am
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
C                  F     C
  Now where are we going?
        C    Dm
We have lost
    C               Dm                     Am
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
C              F       C
  And it is barbaric - darling
 
 
[Outro]
        C   Fm6/C
We have lost
    C               Fm6/C                  Am
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
C                  F     C
  Now where are we going?
        C   Fm6/C
We have lost
    C               Fm6/C                  Am
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
C          F     C
  It is barbaric.
