[Intro] [rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming] [Verse 1] Lost coats and old boots Letters on the floor Library books and car keys Waiting by the door [Verse 2] Watch him as he goes to leave ...Takes, one long last look back Watch her as she disappears Slowly through the cracks [Chorus] Lately, it seems to me We're choosing all our sympathies What's wrong to me We're losing our humanity Lately, it seems to me We're choosing all our sympathies What's wrong to me We're losing our humanity [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar continues rhythmic strumming] [Verse 3] Lost coats and old boots Letters on the floor Library books and car keys Waiting by the door [Chorus] Lately, it seems to me We're choosing all our sympathies What's wrong to me We're losing our humanity Lately, it seems to me We're choosing all our sympathies What's wrong to me We're losing our humanity [Verse 4] New boots and bright coats Voices through the hall Good luck and high hopes Colour on the wall [Outro] [acoustic guitar strumming fades] Old boots and left coats Letters on the floor Lost books and car keys Waiting by the door
