Somethings Missing by John Mayer
Somethings Missing
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C#m7
I'm not alone
Emaj7
I wish I was
Amaj7
Cause then I'd know
G#m7
I'm down because
C#m7
I couldn't find
Emaj7
A friend around
Amaj7
To love me like
G#m7
They do right now
C#m7add4
They do right now
C#m Emaj7
I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
Amaj7 G#m7
I searched for joy, I bought it all
C#m Emaj7
It doesnt help the hunger pains
Amaj7
And the thirst I have to drown first
G#m7
To ever say satiate
[Chorus]
E C#m11
Something's missing
Amaj9 Bsus4
And I don't know how to fix it
E C#m11
Something's missing
Amaj9
And I don't know what it is
Bsus4
No I don't know what it is
C#m7add4
At all
[Verse]
C#m
When autumn comes
Emaj7
It doesn't ask
Amaj7
It just walks in
G#m7
Where it left you last
C#m
You never know
Emaj7
When it starts
Amaj7 G#m7
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart
[Chorus]
E C#m11
Something's missing
Amaj9 Bsus4
And I don't know how to fix it
E C#m11
Something's missing
Amaj9
And I don't know what it is
Bsus4
No I don't know what it is
C#m7add4
At all
[Bridge]
Amaj7 Bsus4
I can't be sure that this state of mind
Amaj9 Bsus4
Is not of my own design
Amaj9 Bsus4
I Wish there was an over the counter test
Aadd2 Bsus4
For loneliness, for loneliness
C#m
Like this
[Chorus]
E C#m11
Something's missing
Amaj9 Bsus4
And I don't know how to fix it
E C#m11
Something's missing
Amaj9
And I don't know what it is
Bsus4
No I don't know what it is

'Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now
I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing

No I don't know what it is

When autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around
Your summer heart
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

I can't be sure that this state of mind
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness
For loneliness like this
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
