Intro:

Em-D*-Em-D*

VERSE 1:

C majorC
They even looked at each other once

     D*
Across a crowded bar

B minorBm
He was with Martha

E minorEm
She with Tom

    C majorC
Neither of them really knew

     D*
What was going on

           B minorBm
Strange feeling of never

          E minorEm
Heartbeats becoming synchronized

            C majorC
Staying that way forever

           D*
But most of the time


It was just near misses

     B minorBm
Air kisses


Once in a book store

        E minorEm
Once at a party

               C majorC
She came in as he was leaving

             D*
And years ago at the movies

         B minorBm
She sat behind him


Six thirty showing

  E minorEm
Of While You Were Sleeping

C majorC
Never 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

                   C majorC
An 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+G               B minorBm
Neither of them knew what was going on

C majorC
The strange feeling of never
                C minorCm
Heartbeats becoming synchronised

            E minorEm
Staying 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
