Something In Common

• E

Intro:  E A E  x2 

E                A                    E 
All my mornings start with the alarm clock 
E                   D#dim          C#m   
Every dream gets stopped before the end 
      E                A                    E            A 
And with each bit I remember, the more the details run together 
            E               D#dim       C#m     Bbdim 
And I'm left with a message I don't understand 
           E               B                E   
I've lost contact with the great beyond again 


         C#m                         G#m   
And as I stare over my breakfast and out into the street 
  B7                                  D       A 
I find that sorrow I've been chasing way too often 
          C#m                                       G#m 
That the man that stands in front of you is not the sum of all his dreams 
          A                    E          A 
But I'm hoping they've got something in common 
              A              E           A 
Yeah, I'm hoping they've something in common 

     E               A                 E 
The way that love attacks and then surrenders 
       E               D#dim              C#m 
The things I mean the most when I say her name 
          E                 A            E                 A 
And if he ever speaks of me casually, I hope he does so carefully 
                  E                 D#dim          C#m  Bbdim 
'Cause when you've loved somebody, everything's to blame 
        E                 B              E 
And I don't want her to ever feel ashamed 

     C#m                             G#m   
But all my best kept secrets are the ones I didn't know I had 
      B7                      D  A 
So I couldn't even tell her if I wanted 
         C#m                                  G#m   
That the way that she remembers me is not the way I really am 
         A                   E               A 
But I'm hoping they've got something in common  
         A                   E             A 
I'm hoping they've got something in common 

     Bbdim              D#dim         C#m   
 I'm hoping they've got something in common. 

           E7     D      Dm 

     A             D           A 
So I feel like a man behind a camera 
         A                Bbdim          F#m 
Who waits patiently for something he won't see 
           A              D                A               D 
I need to stop giving suggestions and just illuminate the questions 
A                     Bbdim      F#m  D#dim  
That seems much more accurate to me 
    A                  E            A   
To keep the frame as wide as it can be 

      F#m                                         C#m 
Cause all the love and friends and happiness that ever came my way 
E7                              G        D 
Revealed themselves the moment I stopped watching 
               F#m                                C#m 
Cause it's not faith that comes from miracles, but miracles that come from faith 
          D                     A             D 
And I'm sure that they've got something in common 
     D                  A                D 
I know that they've got something in common 
D#dim                  Bbdim          F#m    
I know that they've got something in common 

A7  Dm   A
