     SUNSETS FOR SOMEBODY ELSE-JACK JOHNSON


[Intro] G   Am7  D7 D7sus2   G 

                             G 
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere
                        Am7 
Selling something, some big idea
                             D7    D7sus2
I know I’ve seen that vacant stare
                     G 
Selling sunsets for somebody else                                                               
                             G                        Am7 
You find yourself asking yourself...What is any of it worth?
                          D7         D7sus2
You find yourself looking up at night 
                       
From the bottom of the earth
                       
CHORUS 1
    Am            D7                  G   G/F#   Em 
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep...anymore
    Am            D7 
And oh, did your sheep stop jumping
      Bm 
They grow out their teeth
         E                       Am  Am7     D7 
Did they need a little something more...than this?

                             
The taste of trouble on your lips
                                  Am7 
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your thoughts
                          D7       D7sus2
You tell yourself just to turn away
                            G 
But you know you’ve already lost                            G                                
                            G 
The smell of rain when it’s on the wind,
                     Am7 
Can never be paid in full
                       D7               D7sus2
You try in vain to account for this mess
                         G 
And everything that you stole   [Repeat Chorus 1]
                                  G 
‘Cause now they’re bitin’ at your feet
                               Am7 
They got you running from this place
                                    D7  D7sus2
And now they’re breathing down your neck
                              G 
Your eyes look lonely in your face
                       G 
I see you looking just out of frame
                       Am7 
What is it pulling you there?
                                 D7   D7sus2
‘Cause things can never stay the same 
                        G 
So what is keeping you here?
[Chorus 3]
    Am            D7                 G    G/F#   Em 
And oh, can this world not afford to sleep...anymore
    Am            D7 
And oh, did your sheep stop jumping
     Bm                             E 
They grow out their teeth, did they need a little something now
 Am                                    D7 
Every time you think, well they’ll be biting at your thoughts
    Bm                                   E 
And every time you blink, Well you’ll be so damn far
             Am   Am7     D7 
But you want more...than this
                                G 
I know I’ve seen your face somewhere
