Intro: E A E x2
E                A                E
All my mornings start with the alarm clock

E                  G#7               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              G#7               C#m   F#7
And I’m left with a message I don’t understand

           E                B       A     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

             Bm7                               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
I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

    E                 A                      E
The way that love attacks and then surrenders

    E                   G#7                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               G#7                 C#m   F#7
Cause when you’ve loved somebody, everything’s to blame

      E                  B     A        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

     Bm7                           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

    D#m7               G#7            C#m7     E7 
I’m hoping they’ve got something in common
D D Dm
   A              D            A
So I feel like a man behind a camera

           A              Bdim7              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                      C#7        F#m7   B7 
That seems much more accurate to me

   A                  E              A  
So 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

Em7                                       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

  G#m7                  C#7            F#m7   A7   
I know that they’ve got something in common
Dm G A
