Intro:   E   A    Ex2
EAll my mornings sAtart with the alaErm clock
EEvery dream gets stG#7opped before the eC#mnd
And with Eeach bit I remeAmber, the more the Edetails run togetherA  
And I’m left Ewith a message G#7I don’t understandC#m  F#7  
I’ve lost cEontact with the gBreat beyAond agEain
And as I sC#mtare over my breakfast and G#mout into the street
I find that sBm7orrow I’ve been chasing way too ofAten
That the mC#man that stands in front of you is not the G#msum of all his dreams
But I’m hAoping they’ve got Esomething in cAommon
I’m Ahoping they’ve got Esomething in cAommon
The Eway that love attaAcks and then surrendersE  
The Ethings I mean the moG#7st when I say her nC#mame
And if he Eever speaks of me caAsually, I Ehope he does so caArefully
Cause when you’ve Eloved somebody, G#7everything’s to blamC#meF#7  
And I Edon’t want her to eBver feAel ashameEd
But C#mall my best kept secrets are the ones I G#mdidn’t know I had
So I Bm7couldn’t even tell her if I waAnted
That the C#mway that she remembers me is not the G#mway I really am
But I’m Ahoping they’ve got Esomething in coAmmon 
I’m Ahoping they’ve got Esomething in cAommon
I’m D#m7hoping they’ve got G#7something in coC#m7mmonE7  
D     D      Dm
So AI feel like a mDan behind a cAamera
Who waits pAatiently for soBdim7mething he won’t seF#me
I need to Astop giving suggDestions and just illAuminate the queDstions
AThat seems much more acC#7curate to mF#m7eB7  
So Akeep the frame as wEide as it can bAe
Cause F#mall the love and friends and happiness that C#mever came my way
Em7Revealed themselves the moment I stopped wDatching
Cause it’s not F#mfaith that comes from miracles, but miraC#mcles that come from faith
And I’m Dsure that they’ve got Asomething in cDommon
I Dknow that they’ve got Asomething in coDmmon
I G#m7know that they’ve got C#7something in coF#m7mmonA7  
Dm   G   A

Intro: x2

E A E

All my mornings start with the alarm clock

E G#7 C#m

Every dream gets stopped before the end

E A E A

And with each bit I remember, the more the details run together

E G#7 C#m F#7

And I’m left with a message I don’t understand

E B A E

I’ve lost contact with the great beyond again

C#m G#m

And as I stare over my breakfast and out into the street

Bm7 A

I find that sorrow I’ve been chasing way too often

C#m G#m

That the man that stands in front of you is not the sum of all his dreams

A E A

But I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

A E A

I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

E A E

The way that love attacks and then surrenders

E G#7 C#m

The things I mean the most when I say her name

E A E A

And if he ever speaks of me casually, I hope he does so carefully

E G#7 C#m F#7

Cause when you’ve loved somebody, everything’s to blame

E B A E

And I don’t want her to ever feel ashamed

C#m G#m

But all my best kept secrets are the ones I didn’t know I had

Bm7 A

So I couldn’t even tell her if I wanted

C#m G#m

That the way that she remembers me is not the way I really am

A E A

But I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

A E A

I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

D#m7 G#7 C#m7 E7

I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

D D Dm

A D A

So I feel like a man behind a camera

A Bdim7 F#m

Who waits patiently for something he won’t see

A D A D

I need to stop giving suggestions and just illuminate the questions

A C#7 F#m7 B7

That seems much more accurate to me

A E A

So keep the frame as wide as it can be

F#m C#m

Cause all the love and friends and happiness that ever came my way

Em7 D

Revealed themselves the moment I stopped watching

F#m C#m

Cause it’s not faith that comes from miracles, but miracles that come from faith

D A D

And I’m sure that they’ve got something in common

D A D

I know that they’ve got something in common

G#m7 C#7 F#m7 A7

I know that they’ve got something in common

Dm G A
