Something Else
View chords used in this chart
A
Floating on waves of static high above your home
Bm A11 F#m
Somewhere in between water and ice
A
Looking down upon everyone you’ve ever known
Bm A11 F#m
In your whole entire so called life
A
I’ve always thought that you were really something else
Bm A11 F#m
Like a presence here from far away
A
Unwrapped as if to draw a tangent from yourself
Bm A11 F#m
Never ever having much to say
E F#m A
I know you know just what you like
E D F#m
And I am really not your thing
E F#m A
But just in case you change your mind
E D F#m
I wrote this song for you to sing
A
You always were the type to hide your head in style
Bm A11 F#m
Wary of the latest trend or scene
A
Despite your act of sense your name is in demand
Bm A11 F#m
Bleeding through a naughty magazine
E F#m A
I know you know just what you like
E D F#m
And I am really not your thing
E F#m A
But just in case you change your mind
E D F#m
I wrote this song for you to sing
D E2 Fm
D E2 Fm
E F#m A
I know you know just what you like
E D F#m
And I am really not your thing
E F#m A
But just in case you change your mind
E D F#m
I wrote this song for you to sing
