     C
Who blinks first
Bm
You’re going to win
G           F
The fallen down of lovers’ vows
C       Am         Dm   F
Is the world all around us
             C                      Bm
And I would like if you’ve got the time
G    F              C           Am          Dm
To talk to you about what this breakup has done
    F
to me

Chorus:
        C  Dm    C               Dm
I have lost the feeling that I thought
           Am
I’d never lose
C               F   C
Now where am I going
         C  Dm     C               Dm
At what cost, the feeling that I thought
           Am
I’d never lose
C         F   C
It is barbaric

Now you can't play to every taste
The powder keg of common cause
All of us carry trauma
And in owe of an explanation
I will pour oil from the cup
on the pyre of abdication

Chorus:
You have lost
The feeling that you thought you'd never lose
Now where are you going, darling?
At what cost,
the feeling that you thought you'd never lose
And it is barbaric

Am                   C
Empty grove winter darkness
        G#                             G
We are taking down the scaffolds very soon
          Am                            G#
Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plain tree
                                     G
The can of soup and heating up to ten
                 F
Which leaves me to the part
            G
Where we agreed om different dreams

Chorus:
That we had lost the feeling that
we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
At what cost, the feeling that
we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric
We have lost the feeling that
we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
We have lost, the feeling that
we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric, darling
We have lost the feeling that
we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
We have lost, the feeling that
we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric
