Tom: A
A
[Chorus]
C#m A
People are just combinations of traits
E B
She probably wasn’t that great
C#m
You just liked her smile
A
Plus for pretty face
E
Plus the way the two of you
B
Seemed to ride the same wav
[Verse]
C#m A
But people are just combinations of traits
E B
She probably wasn’t that great
C#m A E
You can find someone to replace her
B N.C.
But then why does it still hurt?
[Chorus]
A E
People are just combinations of traits
F#m A
She probably wasn’t that great
A
You just liked her hair
E
Plus her pretty face
F#m
Plus her smile
D
Plus the way you rode the same wave
[Verse]
A
I guess it comes down
E
To how the sum of someone equates
You take some eyes
F#m
Add that to a pretty face
You add that to all the things she'd say
D
You add that to the smile
A
And the way when you were together
E
You thought that you’d be okay for more than a day
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
But she was just a combination of traits
C#m A
You’ll find other combinations of traits
E B
You’ll see that smile and that pretty face
C#m A
Attached to someone that loves you too
[Chorus]
E B
Because people are just combinations of traits
A E
The sum of her parts wasn’t even that great
F#m D A
You can find better parts to replace her
E
But then why does it still hurt?
[Verse]
A D
Maybe sometimes the right traits
A
And the right things done with the right traits
E F#m
Combined in the right order
D A
To be more than some of their parts
E D
And that captures her heart and that’s love
A
I guess?
[Bridge]
E F#m
You had love, I guess
D A
And now it’s gone, I guess
E F#m
And that’s why it still hurts, I guess
[Chorus]
D B
So maybe, people are just combinations of traits
A E
Maybe you won’t be able to replace her
F#m A
Maybe you’ll never have what you had again
B
Maybe you forever lost a friend
[Outro]
C#m B
Or maybe you’ll find a better combo
E
Somewhere down the line
B
Somewhere up the road
C#m A
That will do the right things with the right traits
E
And you’ll too do the right things
B
With your right traits
C#m A
And the two of you will just be right
E B C#m
The right combination of the right combination of the right traits
A E B
Wouldn’t that be great?
