Intro:  E A E  x2

E                A                    E
All my mornings start with the alarm clock
E                   D#dim          C#min
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#min   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#min
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.

     A             D           A
So I feel like a man behind a camera
         A                B#dim          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                     B#dim      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                  B#dim          F#m   
I know that they?ve got something in common

A7  Dm   A
