[G] I'll try it [Am] from the beginning.
And [G]
[D]
[G]
then musically too, he's the kind of guy you can just tell him, hey, [Ab] we're doing this
song, and literally tonight there was one [Am] song he didn't even know, [G] I just said, do
[Ab] this one with us, we're playing in D, and he jumped [C] up and played with us and it sounded beautiful.
[G] [D]
[Am] There was one called [A] Sunsets for Somebody Else that we did together, and that one is,
for me it's like sometimes when you see somebody in a magazine [Abm] or somebody walking down [Am] the
street, you're not sure if you know them or if you've just seen them in a [Gb] movie or you've
seen them in an advertisement or you've seen them somewhere [D] else.
And then that was like the [A] first line, I know I've seen your face [G] somewhere.
And then I kind of started going on [Gb] this thing of looking at these advertisements in an in-flight
magazine [F] and it's, like where I come from, in Hawaii [E] there's [Ab] a lot of times [G] you see people
running through the shore break and a beautiful sunset in the background and they use sort
of the natural [Ab] beauty to sell [Gb] whatever it is, a [G] hotel [Abm] or some [G] experience.
And I [D] just started [Dbm] kind of tripping on that thing [A] of using [G] things that are [Gb] sacred, whether
it's the ocean or, [C] and using that to sell your product.
[D]
So that's where that song came from, [G] the idea of it, and it was really nice to [F] have Nick
join us on that because his playing [Am] is so beautiful.
[D]
[Bb] [G]
[Am]
[D]
[G]
I know I've seen your face somewhere, selling [Am] something, some big [C] idea.
I know [G] I've seen that vacant [D] stare, selling [G] sunsets for somebody else.
You find yourself asking yourself, what is any of it worth?
[Am]
You find [G] yourself looking up at [D] night from the [G] bottom of the earth.
[Am] And oh, [D] can this world not afford to [G] sleep [E] anymore?
And [Am] oh, did your [D] sheep start jumping, [Bm] grow out their teeth?
Did they [E] need a little something [Am] more than [D] this?
The taste of [G] trouble on your lips, now they're biting at [Am] your thoughts.
[A] You tell yourself just to [D] turn away, but you know you've [G] already lost.
The smell of rain when it's on the wind, could never be paid in [Am] full.
Try your vain to [D] account for this mess, and everything that [G] you've stolen.
[Am] And oh, can this [D] world not afford to [G] sleep [E] anymore?
[Am] And oh, did your [D] sheep start jumping, [Bm] grow out their teeth?
Did they [E] need a little something [Am] more than [D] this?
[G] Cause now they're biting at your feet, they got you [A] running from this place.
And now they're breathing down [D] your neck, your eyes look lonely [G] in your face.
I see you looking just out of frame, what is it pulling you [Am] there?
Cause things can never stay the [D] same, so what is [G] keeping you here?
[D] And [Am] oh, can this [D] world not afford to [G]
sleep [E] anymore?
[Am] And oh, did your [D] sheep start jumping, [Bm] grow out their teeth?
Did they [Em] need a little something now?
Every time you think that they'll [Bm] be biting at your thoughts.
And every time you blink, will you [E] be sold and bought?
But you [Am] are more than
[D] this, I know I've [G] seen your face somewhere.
