         F               D          G
I fought my feelings and got in the way,

         F                  D         G
Could've been easier like a decade of days.

            F               D            G
Projection, young marriage, lighting the stage,

         F         D    F             G   F G Am F        
I wanted feelings, that got in my own way.  Oh!
[Verse 2]
     G          F               D          G
Then wrote that letter that had nothing to say,

         F             D          G
Staccato vision like a kingdom of days.

            F              D       G
All lonely, or not lonely, century away,

          F        D     F             G   F G  Am  F G
But still a vision as if help's on its way.  Oh!
[Chorus 1]
Am                F               G
Someone, who will lead you to someone,

                         Am        
Who will lead you to someone.

                  C           
Who will lead you to the one, 

F          C      G         Am F G Am F
At the end of the century.
[Verse 3](Picked Bass line over)
    G      Am        F      G
The air is clearer a decade away, Oh!

           F                D             G
Singing to a mountain, that was empty all along.

            F               D        G
All lonely, young marriage, lighting the way,  Oh!

           F        D    F              G     D G
She wanted feelings that got in her own way.  Oh!

Someone, who will lead you to someone,

Who will lead you to someone.

                     F         
Who will lead you to the one,
At the end of the century. [Chorus 3](Tension and speed increasing)
F                                 G
Someone, who will lead you to someone,

Who will lead you to someone.

Who will lead you to someone.

                     F           
Who will lead you to the one,
At the end of the century.[Stop] [Bridge](Keyboards echoed) G F Em Am F Em D F C Am F Em D G F Am [Epilogue] by Jarvis Cocker (Slow, softly spoken words over Keyboards, Bass guitar, gently picked Lead and Drums)
F      Am  G        F
A century, how long is that?

C              Am          F         D
Three billion, one hundred and fifty five million,

G            F            Am             F
Nine hundred and seventy three thousand, six hundred seconds.

C             D           G
Eight hundred and seventy six million hours,

F
Or thirty six thousand, five hundred days.

C          D             G                            F
Almost as long as one of those endless dark nights of the soul,

F     Em          F     C
Those nights that never end. (A century)

Am       F              Em            Am
When you believe you'll never see the sun rise again, 

C      F             Em           Am 
When a single second feels like a century.  (A century)
