Shawn James - Losing My Religion (Live)

(originally by R.E.M.)

[Intro]
Am Em Am Em Am Em Dm G

[Verse 1]
Am
Oh, life is bigger
Em Am
It’s bigger than you and you are not me
Em Am
The lengths that I will go to the distance in your eyes
Em Dm G
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I set it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight
Am
Losing my religion
Em Am
Trying to keep up with you and I don’t know if I can do it
Em Dm G
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I haven’t said enough

[Chorus]
F
I thought that I heard you laughing
Dm G Am
I thought that I heard you sing
F Dm G Am
I think I thought I saw you try

[Verse 2]
Am Em Am
Every whisper of every waking hour I’m choosing my confessions
Em
Trying to keep an eye on you
Am
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Em Dm G
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I set it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century
Am Em
Consider this the slip that brought me to my knees, failed
Am Em
What if all these fantasies come flailing around?
Dm G
Now I’ve said too much

[Chorus]
F
I thought that I heard you laughing
Dm G Am
I thought that I heard you sing
F Dm G Am
I think I thought I saw you try

[Bridge]
C Dm
But that was just a dream
C Dm
That was just a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight
Am
Losing my religion
Em Am
Trying to keep up with you and I don’t know if I can do it
Em Dm G
Oh no, I’ve said too much, I haven’t said enough

[Chorus]
F
I thought that I heard you laughing
Dm G Am
I thought that I heard you sing
F Dm G Am
I think I thought I saw you try

[Outro]
F Dm G
But that was just a dream
Am
Try, cry, why try?
Dm Dm G Am G
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream

[Verse 3]
Am
Oh, life is bigger
Em Am
It’s bigger than you and you are not me
Em
The lengths that I will go to
