Intro:
Em-D*-Em-D*
VERSE 1:
[C]They even looked at each other once
D*
Across a crowded bar
[Bm]He was with Martha
[Em]She with Tom
Neither [C]of them really knew
D*
What was going on
Strange feeling of ne[Bm]ver
Heartbeats becoming [Em]synchronized
Staying that way forever[C]
D*
But most of the time
It was just near misses
Air kisses[Bm]
Once in a book store
Once at a party[Em]
She came in as he was leaving[C]
D*
And years ago at the movies
She sat behind him[Bm]
Six thirty showing
Of W[Em]hile You Were Sleeping
[C]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
An itch that could never be scratched[C]
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]Neither of them knew what was [Bm]going on
[C]The strange feeling of never
Heartbeats becoming synchronised[Cm]
Staying that way foreve[Em]r
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
