[Verse]

Am
Death
                   F
Let me catch my breath
                   Dm
Let me see what's left
Let me see what's true
                  E          E7
Do I really want to run from my 
Am
Depths
              F
Will I have regrets
              Dm
Will I ever find you
Will I ever find words
                E   E7    F   E 
That give me motive to express
Am
Bread
            F
Will I go unfed
                               Dm
Will I be the one who rushed on in
          E             Am
To where angel fear to tread
               F
Was it me who bled
                 Dm
On the new death bed
And there is no fear
                        E
When you're leaning on love
  E7     F      E
Those grateful dead

[Chorus]
   C    G   A     ( G )
Someone like you
C                G         C    ( G )
To research the meaning of love
A        G     F   ( G )
Someone like you
C                G              A  ( G )
To be there when push comes to shove
F                      ( G )
I know that you know
      E7     
The ending numbers

[Verse]
Am
Chess
                F
Let me play my best
             Dm
When I do regress
Let it all unwind 
'cause we never confined
E        E7
To the board 
Am
Unless
               F
'Less I second guess
               Dm
Look into the sky
Where we all comply
                 E          E7
With something higher than the
F    G   Am  C F      E7
Rest my love, sail through

[Chorus]
   C    G   A     ( G )
Someone like you
C                G         C    ( G )
To research the meaning of love
A        G     F   ( G )
Someone like you
C                G              A  ( G )
To be there when push comes to shove
F                      ( G )
I know that you know
      Am     
The ending numbers
A        G     F 
Someone like you

[Bridge]
Bb  Cm    Am
Sky all around
Bb   Cm      Am
Fell to the ground
Bb   Cm     Gm
Now I'm a child
Bb   Cm      Gm
Stayed for a while

[Verse]
Am
Flesh
               F
Is it meaningless
              Dm
But we all protest
To the last request
                  E         E7               
Is there anything you could now 
Am
Suggest
             F
Did I do my best
                 Dm
Did I leave it better
Even though we look to be
      E E7     F      G    Am  C
Just mildly obsessed with you
  F    E7
Sail through

[Chorus]

   C    G   A     ( G )
Someone like you
C                G         C    ( G )
To research the meaning of love
A        G     F   ( G )
Someone like you
C                G              A  ( G )
To be there when push comes to shove
F                      ( G )
I know that you know
      Am     
The ending numbers
A        G     F   ( G )
Someone like you
    E7
To be there
