Мандолиновый рифф, ставший голосом поколения. Не о религии — а о безответной одержимости: «Я сказал слишком много, я зашёл слишком далеко». Отчаяние в углу прожектора.
[Intro]:F Am F Am
G Am
Oh... life, it's bigger,
Em
it's bigger than you,
Am
and you are not me,
Em
The lengths that i will go to,
Am
the distance in your eyes,
Em Dm G
Oh no I've said to much, I set it up,
Am
That's me in the corner,
Em
that's me in the spotlight
Am
losing my religion,
Em
Trying to keep up with you,
Am
and I don't know if I can do it,
Em Dm
Oh no I've said too much,
G
I haven't said enough,
F
I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought
Am
that I heard you sing,
Dm Am G
I think I thought I saw you try,
Am Em
Every whisper, every waking hour
Am
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
Am
Consider this, consider this,
Em
the hint of the century,
Am
consider this, the slip,
Em
that brought me to my knees, failed
Am Em
What if all these fantasies come flailing around
Dm G
And now I've said to much,
F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
Am F
I thought that I heard you sing, I think I thought
Am
I saw you try,
F F
That was just a dream, that was just a dream,
Am Em
That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight,
Am Em
Losing my religion trying to keep up with you,
Am
And I don't know if I can do it,
Em Dm
Oh no I said to much,
G
I haven't said enough
F
I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought
Am
that I heard you sing,
F Am
I think I thought I saw you try,
F
that was just a dream,
Am
to try cry why try,
F Am G
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream,
Am
dream.

Знаете ли вы, что...
- Питер Бак придумал мандолиновый рифф, когда учился играть на только что купленной мандолине, смотря телевизор. Он записал его на кассету и забыл. Басист Майк Миллз говорил: «Пятиминутная песня без явного припева, где лидирующий инструмент — мандолина. Предсказать, что это станет хитом, было абсолютно невозможно». Когда на концертах роуди выносил мандолину на сцену, зал взрывался — все знали, что сейчас будет эта песня.
