[verse]
G                           C     D
Imagine your life if we had never met
        G                           C            D
All the things that you wouldn’t be trying to forget
  Bm          Em              C        D      G
I suspect you wish that I was somebody else’s problem
        G                            C        D
Are you tearin’ me stooly because I always mishear?
        G                            C             D
So it’s Terry meets Julie, babe, the same sun sets here
        Bm        Em             C        D      G
And you gaze past me like I was  somebody else’s problem.


[chorus]
C        D      G
Somebody else’s problem.
C        D      Em      C D
Somebody else’s problem.
Bm         C             G
I’ll never be as good as that.
Bm           C                    Am             C          D
You’ll never find this thing that you think that you should have.


[verse]
    G                       C          D
So, I’m sick again and I’ve ruined our plans.
       G                      C                  D
You’re making me soup and you spill some on your hands.
   Bm       Em              C        D      G
Oh man, you wish that I was somebody else’s problem.


[chorus]
C        D      G
Somebody else’s problem.
C        D      Em      C D
Somebody else’s problem.
Bm         C             G
I’ll never be as good as that.
Bm           C                    Am             C          D
You’ll never find this thing that you think that you should have.


[bridge]
Em       C           G                D
Life was easier when you were on your own.
Em        C                  G              Bm
I pull my hand back and make faces down the phone.
Em      C                    Am                C   
How can you say these things that you say like you believe them?
Em          C           G                D
Life wasn’t easier when you were on your own.

[instrumental verse]
G C D G C D Bm Em C D G C D G


[verse]
        G                    C            D
I’m the guy in the movie who fades out of sight
      G                   C           D
Right after the lady runs into to Mr. Right.
     Bm         Em             C        D      G
Am I wrong? I’m right. I’ll be somebody else’s problem.


[chorus]
C        D      G
Somebody else’s problem.
C        D      Em      C D G
Somebody else’s problem.
