Losing My Religion - R.E.M.

(Oh, life is bigger       [Verse] (F#m F#m C#m C#m

 It's bigger than you and you are not me    x3)

 The distance in your eyes - …)          E  E

Oh no, I've said too much - (I set it up)

                                          [Cho-

(That's me in the (corner/spotlight) (x2)  rus]

 I'm losing my religion - Trying to keep up

    with you - And I don't know if I can do it)

(I haven't said enough)


I thought that I heard you       [Hook & Intro]

    (laughing/sing) (x2) - …      D Bm-E F#m F#m

I think I thought I saw you try   D Bm-E F#m (E)


(Every whisper of every waking hour     [Verse]

 I'm choosing my confessions

 Trying to keep an eye on you - Like a hurt,

     lost and blinded fool, fool) (…)

But (that was just a dream x2)  [Chorus] [Hook]

[Outro - Hook] - (F#m F#m x3) - F#m F#m-E D-F#m

But that was just a dream - Try, cry, why, try

That was (just a dream x3), dream
