Song for Someone (Songs of Innocence) [Intro] E E F# G#m E E F# G#m [Verse 1]
E 
   You got a face not spoiled by beauty;

F#                             G#m
    I have some scars from where I’ve been.

E
    You’ve got eyes that can see right through me,

F#                          G#m
    You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen.
[Pre-Chorus]
          E                     F#           G#m
I was told that I would feel nothing the first time

            E                              F#               G#m
I don't know how these cuts heal, but in you I found a rhyme.
[Chorus]
                     E                       B
If there is a light,   you can't always see,

                     F#                    G#m     
And there is a world   we can't always be.

                   E                          B
If there is a dark   that we shouldn't doubt,

                      F#                     G#m
And there is a light,   don't let it go out.

                   E         B          F#          G#m
And this is a Song                    a Song for Someone;

                E        B          F#          G#m         E
This is a Song                    a Song for Someone
[Verse 2]
E
    You let me into a conversation,

F#                      G#m
    A conversation only we could make.

E
    You break and enter my imagination;

F#                            G#m
    Whatever's in there, it's yours to take.
[Pre-Chorus]
      E                B       F#            G#m
I was told that I would feel nothing the first time

         E            B       F#          G#m
You were slow to heal, but this could be the night.
[Chorus]
                     E                      B
If there is a light,   you can't always see,

                     F#                   G#m     
And there is a world   we can't always be.

                   E                     B
If there is a dark   within and without

                     F#                     G#m
And there is a light,   don't let it go out.

                   E         B          F#          G#m
And this is a Song                    a Song for Someone;

                E        B          F#          G#m
This is a Song                    a Song for Someone
[Guitar Solo] E B G#m C# E B G#m C# [Outro]
          E       B                F#            G#m 
And I'm a long, long way from your hill of Calvary,

              E   B                F#                       G#m
And I'm a long way from where I was and where I need to be.

                     E                      B
If there is a light,   you can't always see,

                     F#                   G#m     
And there is a world   we can't always be.

                    E                          B
If there is a kiss    I stole from your mouth

                     F#                      N.C. 
And this is a light,   don't let it go out.
