[Intro]
| E A | E |
| E A | E |
 
[Verse 1]
E A | E |
All my mornings start with the alarm clock
E Adim7 | 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 comprehend
| E B7 | E
I’ve lost contact with the great beyond again
 
[Refrain 1]
| C#m | G#m
And as I stare over my breakfast and out into the street
| E7 | 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
 
[Break]
| E A | E
 
[Verse 2]
| E A | E
The way that love attacks and then surrenders
| E Adim7 | 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 love somebody everything’s to blame
| E B7 | E
And I don’t want her to ever feel ashamed
 
[Refrain 2]
| C#m | G#m
But all my best-kept secrets are the ones I didn’t know I had
| E7 | 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
 
[Link]
| D#m7 G#7 | C#m7 E7/B | D/A | G#dim7
I’m hoping they’ve got something in common
 
[Verse 3]
| A D | A
So I feel like a man behind a camera
| A Ddim7 | F#m
Who waits patiently for something he won’t see
| A D | A E D |
I need to stop giving suggestions and just illuminate the questions
A C#7 | F#m B7
That seems much more accurate to me
| A E7 | A
So keep the frame as wide as it can be
 
[Refrain 3]
| F#m | C#m
’Cause all the love and friends and happiness that ever came my way
| A7 | 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
 
[Coda]
| G#m7 C#7 | F#m7 A7/E | Dm G7/B | A
I know that they’ve got something in common
