Intro:

Em-D*-Em-D*



VERSE 1:

CThey (x32010@1)even looked at each other once

D*
Across a crowded bar

BmHe (x24432@1)was with Martha

EmShe (022000@1)with Tom

CNeither (x32010@1)of them really knew

D*
What was going on

BmStrange (x24432@1)feeling of never

EmHeartbeats (022000@1)becoming synchronized

CStaying (x32010@1)that way forever

D* 
But most of the time

It was just near misses

BmAir (x24432@1)kisses

Once in a book store

EmOnce (022000@1)at a party

CShe (x32010@1)came in as he was leaving

D*
And years ago at the movies
         
                  BmShe (x24432@1)sat behind him

Six thirty showing

EmOf (022000@1)While You Were Sleeping

CNever (x32010@1)once looked around



CHORUS:

Em-G-C-Am

It's so easy from above 
You can't really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but we walk
Past them every day
Oh no

C-D*-Bm-Em



VERSE 2:

C-D*-Bm-Em

And it's not like they were actually ever unhappy in the lives they lived
He married Martha
She married Tom
Just this vague notion that something was wrong
An ache, an absence, a phantom limb

CAn (x32010@1)itch that could never be scratched



cHORUS

Em-G-C-Am

It's so easy from above 
You can't really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but we walk
Past them every day
Oh no

C-D*-Bm-Em



BRIDGE

G (320003@1)                           BmNeither (x24432@1)of them knew what was going on

CThe (x32010@1)strange feeling of never
                                CmHeartbeats (x3101x@1)becoming synchronised

EmStaying (022000@1)that way forever



INTERLUDE: Em-G-C-Am

VERSE 3

C-D*-Bm-Em

And who knows whether that's how it should be
Maybe a ghost lives in that vacancy
Maybe that's how books get written
Maybe that's why songs get sung
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones

cHORUS

Em-G-C-Am

It's so easy from above 
You can't really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but we walk
Past them every day
Oh no

CLOSING VERSE

C-D*-Bm-Em

Maybe that's how books get written
Maybe that's why songs get sung
Maybe we owe the unlucky ones
