Song: Lost the Plot, from the CD Take me to your Leader
Artists: Newsboys, lyrics by Steve Taylor and Peter Furler.

This is probably my favourite song on the entire TMTYL album;
It's got a lot of emotion and the lyrics are really powerful.
It's a pretty easy song to play and it was the first song I
ever really totally figured out. Here it is.

Chords used:
EmEm Piano Chord 
    - 022000
D     - x5777x
C     - x3555x
GG Piano Chord 
     - 320001
Amaj7 - xx7999
Gmaj7 - xx5777

These chords, especially the C and D, sound more like the CD when
voiced like this. As for the Amaj7 and Gmaj7, it's close, but I'm
pretty sure these aren't the exact chords or voicing used.

Would you bring me something from the fridge?

Heard a rumour that the end is near
EmEm Piano Chord

but I just got comfortable here.

Sigh.

Let's be blunt.

I'm a little distracted.

What do you want?

Headaches and bad faith

are all that I've got.

            GG Piano Chord 

First I misplaced the ending

        EmEm Piano Chord 

then I lost the plot.

Out among the free-range sheep

                DD Piano Chord

While the big birds sharped their claws.

For a time we stuck with the shepherd

but you wouldn't play Santa Claus.

Sigh.

Once we could follow,

        GG Piano Chord 

now we cannot.

          GG Piano Chord 

You would not fit our image,

        EmEm Piano Chord 

so we lost the plot.

            GG Piano Chord 

Once we could hear you,

         GG Piano Chord 

now our senses are shot.

            GG Piano Chord 

We've forgotten our first love

We have lost the plot.

Lost the plot.

When I saw you for the first time

You were hanging with a thief
EmEm Piano Chord 

And I knew my hands were dirty,

and I dropped my gaze.
GG Piano Chord 
                   EmEm Piano Chord 

Then you said I was forgiven

GG Piano Chord 

and you welcomed me with laughter
EmEm Piano Chord 

I was happy ever after

I was counting the days

when you'd come back again.

We'll be waiting for you

When you comin' again?

We'll be ready for you

Maybe we'll wake up when...

Are you still listening?

'Cause we're obviously not.

EmEm Piano Chord 
                GG Piano Chord 

And why are you still calling?

             GG Piano Chord 

You forgave, we forgot.
EmEm Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

We're such experts at stalling
