Released at 2005 during the inedit KCRW special session, "Bizarre Love Triangle" is a
cover from New Order (which appears at the 1986 Brotherhood album). Nouvelle vague
perform this tune with a bossanova-feel guitar and soft vocal melodies, at the second
half of the song they perform some canon vocals with different verses.
For female voices I recommend to stay in original tuning. For male voices a capo on 2nd
fret (changing it to G major key) is recommedable.

F G
Every time I think of you
Em F
I got a shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
G
But it's a problem I find
Em F
Living a life that I can't leave behind
G
There's no sense in telling me
Em F
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
G
And it's what nobody knows
Em F
Everyday my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling

Waiting for that final moment

You say the words that I can't say

F G
I feel fine and I feel good
(Every time I see you falling)
Em F
I'm feeling like I never should
(I get down on my knees and pray)
G
Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say
( Waiting for that final moment)
Em F
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?
(You say the words that I can't say)
G
I'm not sure what this could mean
(Every time I see you falling)
Em F
I don't think you're what you seem
(I get down on my knees and pray)
G
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
( I'm waiting for that final moment)
Em F
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
(You say the words that I can't say)
CHORUS (Originally there is no guitar here,
but you can play it like the previous chorus,
with downwards strums)
F G
Every time I see you falling
Em F
I get down on my knees and pray
G
Waiting for that final moment
Em F
You say the words that I can't say
