Someone I Used To Know

V6

[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar enters] [Verse 1] [breathy male vocals] I look back tonight Laughed at dancing in the blue screen light Pages full of happy times with a smile on my face Memories of a time we shared You wait for me, I waited for you Back when tomorrow still felt good Now every word lands cold and small Memories gone, turned to dust as they fall [Pre-Chorus] [vocal intensity builds, drums enter lightly] I keep asking questions to the world All I get is silence, it never answers back [Chorus] [vocal intensity increases, belting, full band enters] Searching through the footprints of my soul Staring at the blue screen glow You became someone I used to know Someone I used to know [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar continues, synth pad enters] Blink, blink, the cursor's gone Yet you didn't disappear You slowly faded into the rain You're still here somewhere But it don't feel the same [Pre-Chorus] [vocal intensity builds] I keep asking questions to the world All I get is silence, it never answers back [Chorus] [powerful belting] Searching through the footprints of my soul Staring at the blue screen glow You became someone I used to know Someone I used to know [Post-Chorus Instrumental] [Guitar solo, melodic and emotional, over full band] [Bridge] [vocal grit increases, instrumentation thins slightly, then builds back] I don't miss the fantasy or some perfect memory I miss the person who you used to be Who'd laugh, sending darkness down the drain (oh) Washing away all our pain (yeah) [Guitar Solo Outro] [guitar solo continues, then fades with acoustic guitar and synth pad] I try, I try to understand I try to reason with myself If I hurt you I'd carry that If you changed I'd understand If goodbye had found the courage to speak Then why won't you tell me, not leave me weak But silence writes a thousand stories that I go over in my head Every one more cruel than truth Every story that I write, every story that I write Reminds me that I am on my own tonight Blink, blink, and the cursor's gone Yet you didn't disappear You slowly faded into the rain Now you're still needed here [Outro] I don't miss the fantasy or some perfect memory I miss the person who you used to be Who'd laugh, sending darkness down the drain, washing up all our pain You became You became You became someone that I used to used to used to used to used to used to know Yeah [Big Drum Finish] [End]
