Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Key: G# minorG#m
Difficulty: Intermediate
SOMETIMES. (Alan Parsons)
* The song contains a transposition of chords
that starts from the first instrumental part.
The best way to play it is by using the CAPO
at the 2nd fret, which is how I propose it,
but the chords are not very easy.
FOR NOVICES I recommend using the CAPO on the
4th fret (set traspose to -2) only in the
first part and moving the CAPO to the 5h fret
(set traspose to -3) as soon as the first
instrumental part begins.
CAPO 2th fret

Verse:
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
She wants so much to say
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
The things she thought about today
E MajorE E/G# A augmentedA
He never dreamed that she could care
F#7F#7 B minorBm
He's lookin' everywhere
E MajorE C#7C#7 F# minorF#m
And knows love won't play fair
Dmaj7Dmaj7
And as the years go by
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
She sometimes stops to wonder why
E MajorE E/G# A augmentedA
But his story's not the same
F#7F#7 B minorBm
No matter who you blame
E MajorE C#7C#7 F# minorF#m
It's still a cryin' shame
Chorus:
E/G# A/EA/E
Sometimes you win
B7B7
Sometimes you lose
D MajorD Asus2/C#
Sometimes you try to keep love to yourself
B minorBm C#7C#7 F# minorF#m
Cause you're tired of being used
E/G# A/EA/E
And so you learn
B7B7
What life's about
DmDm A augmentedA
The older grow wiser
B minorBm E MajorE C#7C#7 F# minorF#m
And fall in love sometimes
Verse:
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
So they think of good times past
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
And all the things they thought would last
E MajorE E/G# A augmentedA
Now there they go again
F#7F#7 B minorBm
A augmentedA different where and when
E MajorE C#7C#7 F# minorF#m
It's too late to defend
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Those feelings on the cuff
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
And when they think they've had enough
E MajorE E/G# A augmentedA
All the things they saved before
F#7F#7 B minorBm
Love became a chore
E MajorE C#7C#7 F# minorF#m
Will live for evermore
