[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)
