Song: Lost the Plot, from the CD Take me to your Leader

Artists: Newsboys, lyrics by Steve Taylor and Peter Furler.

Transcribed by James Underwood, munderwo@acs.ucalgary.ca.

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:

Em - 022000

C - x3555x

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.

Intro: (Repeat 4x)

When you come back again

Would you bring me something from the fridge?

Heard a rumour that the end is near

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.

First I misplaced the ending

then I lost the plot.

Out among the free-range sheep

While the big birds sharped their claws.

For a time we stuck with the shepherd

but you wouldn't play Santa Claus.

Sigh.

Let's be blunt.

We're a little distracted.

What do you want?

Once we could follow,

now we cannot.

You would not fit our image,

so we lost the plot.

Once we could hear you,

now our senses are shot.

We've forgotten our first love

We have lost the plot.

Lost the plot.

Interlude(?)

(This next part may not be quite right, I just did it quickly)

When I saw you for the first time

You were hanging with a thief

And I knew my hands were dirty,

and I dropped my gaze.

Then you said I was forgiven

and you welcomed me with laughter

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...

Maybe we'll wake up when

you come back again.

Lies.

Let's be blunt.

We're a little unfaithful.

What do you want?

Are you still listening?

'Cause we're obviously not.

We've forgotten our first love.

We have lost the plot.

And why are you still calling?

You forgave, we forgot.

We're such experts at stalling

that we've lost the plot

lost the plot... lost the plot... lost the plot.

When you come back again

Would you bring me something from the fridge?

Heard a rumour that the end is near

but I just got comfortable here.
