Someone Great

[Verse 1]
  D                             Am
I wish that we could talk about it
    C                 G
But there, that's the problem
     D                             Am
With someone new I could have started
     C         G
Too late for beginnings
    D                              Am
The little things that made me nervous
    C         G
Are gone in a moment
   D                         Am
I miss the way we used to argue
   C           G
Locked in your basement

[Verse 2]
  D                            Am
I wake up and the phone is ringing
    C              G
Surprised, as it's early
    D                            Am
And that should be a perfect warning
     C             G
That something's a problem
   D                           Am
To tell the truth, I saw it coming
    C            G
The way you were breathing
    D                           Am
But nothing can prepare you for it
    C            G
The voice on the other end

[Verse 3]
    D                            Am
The worst is all the lovely weather
    C                G
I'm stunned it's not raining
    D                    Am
The coffee isn't even bitter
    C              G
Because what's the difference?
        D                             Am
There's all the work that needs to be done
     C           G
It's late for revision
        D                             Am
There's all the time and all the planning
      C         G
And songs to be finished


[Bridge]
    Am                  C
And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    G                        D
And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops
    Am                  C
And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    G                        D
And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops
    Am                  C
And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    G                   D
And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    Am                  C
And it keeps coming and it keeps coming
    G                        D
And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops


[Verse 4]
  D                             Am
I wish that we could talk about it
    C                 G
But there, that's the problem
     D                             Am
With someone new I could have started
    C           G
Too late for beginnings
       D                         Am
You're smaller than my wife imagined
    C              G
Surprised you were human
      D                           Am
There shouldn't be this radio silence
    C            G
But what are the options?


[Bridge]
     Am               C          G                D
When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
     Am               C          G                D
When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
     Am               C          G                D
When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone
     Am               C          G                D
When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone


[Outro]
      Am     C
We're safe
        G   D
For the mo--ment
Am     C
Saved
        G   D
For the mo--ment

D  Am  C  G
