Bm       E
There's something else
A
There's something else
Bm       E                        A
There's something else I have to say to you
Bm       E
There's someone else
A
There's someone else
Bm A#          F
    And it's you
F#        F
Are you aware?
F#             F
How would you care?
            D
Ah, but I know you do

If nothing else
If nothing else
If nothing else in this world from me is true
As long as there's
As long as there
As long as there's a song in there
I'll sing to myself
I'll pray for myself
I won't have a care

In popular song
Don't wanna be the other guy
(Let him run wild let him run wild)
I'm not the bad boy in this boy
I wasn't born to make you cry
(She will make you cry she will make her cry)
Never saw a river that didn't flow somewhere
(Open up inside open up your eyes)
There was never any doubt
I needed someone to care
Where is my song?
I don't know
Where is my song?
I'm not sure

If nothing else
If nothing else
(Take the actress take the other trip)
As long as there's a song in there
I'll sing it for you
I'll tell you the truth

            Bm       F#m     Em  A D
As I walked out into Glasgow City
           Bm    F#m        Em    A D
The autumn light looked so pretty
             Bm        F#m     Em  A D
As we walked out into Glasgow City
          Bm          F#m       Em    A
I scared myself, you looked so pretty
  F
Pretty...
  G
Pretty!

Bm
Get those cornflakes right back in the bowl
Good times are created not bestowed
Is it really necessary
If you're not being Bob you're being Terry
Where's the Likely Lad that we used to know
Get those cornflakes right back in the bowl
