There was this kid a few years back,

A augmentedA little older than me,
   FF      C majorC        A minorAm      G+G
Who lived in my house and looked a lot like my mother.
C majorC        G+G        A minorAm       G+G
There was this kid I knew back then and I was sure he would be
 FF      G+G       FF   C majorC
The greatest star I'd ever known.
 FF             A minorAm       G+G
I'd watch him walk into a room and he was never out of place,
  FF     C majorC    A minorAm    G+G
He knew the answer to every question.
 FF              A minorAm
The square and cube of every prime
     G+G
A augmentedA name to go with every face,
FF      G+G      FF   C majorC
Like he was king upon a throne.

And we had nothing in common,
 FF     C majorC
Nothing in common.
   FF      FF            FF  A minorAm    G+G
My mother was convinced that I failed english out of spite.
     C majorC     A minorAm
We had nothing in common
 FF     C majorC
Nothing in common.
   FF       FF        FF  A minorAm    G+G
And 30-some years later i'm still tortured and amazed
     FF      G+G        C majorC
By how Daivd always got the answers right.

Verse 2:

   C majorC  G+G        A minorAm
Now later on, I knew this guy,
      G+G
He was in high school I think,
 FF       C majorC         A minorAm      G+G
Had lots of friends and was the pride of the family.
 C majorC      G+G         A minorAm        G+G
He'd call me names and punch my head and made me feel like a dink
  FF     G+G        FF  C majorC
And I would hide from him all day.

 FF            A minorAm
But if I couldn't find a friend
        G+G
(Which happened more than i'd have liked)
FF      C majorC      A minorAm     G+G
I'd go where he was and sulk around him.
FF                 A minorAm          G+G
He'd say, "You don't know how to throw, and just don't play your stupid songs,"
 FF       G+G        FF  C majorC
And then he'd toss the ball my way.

FF C majorC

Chorus 2:

     C majorC     A minorAm
We had nothing in common,
  FF     C majorC
Nothing in common.
   FF       FF         FF    A minorAm     G+G
I thought he was a jerk and who knows what he thought I'd be.
     C majorC     A minorAm
We had nothing in common,
  FF     C majorC
Nothing in common.
  FF       FF         FF   A minorAm  G+G
But 20-some years later I'm still grateful and surprised
     FF         G+G      C majorC
By the little gifts that David gave to me.

Verse 3:

FF            A minorAm
I knew this guy before I wed
      G+G       FF
He had a vision in his head
      C majorC        G+G      A minorAm        FF
Of how his life would play out and his dreams would come true
        FF        C majorC
But he was stumbling, he was stalled
      C majorC       A minorAm
And every year after he called
        A minorAm          FF   A minorAm     G+G     G+G
I'd just think man, there goes the lonliest guy I ever knew

Bridge:

 G+G         FF
People think i'm failing
        G+G
They never understand
          FF
But temporary set backs
           FF
Are part of what I planned

          G+G
And David had his vision
           FF
And David played his game
FF             C majorC     FF
We have nothing much in common
FF      G+G        C majorC
But we are more or less the same

There was a guy who met a girl who had a cat that fell in love
      C majorC        G+G
That got a home and made a vow
       A minorAm          FF   C majorC   G+G
He took her hand and they lived happily ever after

  FF   C majorC   G+G   FF C majorC G+G

Happily ever after
