A5            D               x 2

Am                 e a
I saw somebody who     reminded me of you
  Fmaj7
Before you got afraid
C   B♭            A5
  I wish that you could've stayed that way

I saw a little girl, I stopped and smiled at her
She screamed and ran away
It happens to me more and more these days

            Dm             Am/E
  And these songs that you sing
          F       Am/E
  Do they mean anything
         F             Am/E         G
  To the people you're singing them to? - people like you

a  a  a b  g  f♯  f♯  g a  e
A5            D               x 2

I saw a photograph, a woman in a bath
Of hundred dollar bills
If the cold doesn't kill her, money will

I read a magazine that said by seventeen
Your life was at an end
I'm dead and I'm perfectly content

  And these songs that I sing
  Do they mean anything
  To the people I'm singing them to? - people like you

a  a  a b  g  f♯  f♯  g a  e
A5            D               x 2

Am   e a   Fmaj7   C B♭ A5    x 2  doux  (w/ C / Dm  ds milieu)

  And these songs that we sing
  Do they mean anything
  To the people we're singing them to? - tonight they do

a  a  a b  g  f♯  f♯  g a  e
A5            D               x 4      w/ Tonight they do  x 2
