G#                                    D#
I don't speak the language that you speak
A#m               D#                   G#  D#/G
There're​ some words I know I'll never reach
     Fm                            G#7
But when I see you smiling back at me

Chorus:
C#   Cm   D#  G#
Somehow, somehow
    C7                   Fm
I know exactly what you mean
C#  Cm    D#  G#
Somehow, somehow
   C7                    Fm    A#
I know exactly what you mean, oh

When you look, when you look a little hurt
Sometimes I sing, a song that I have learnt
I swear to god, there's no way you could've heard

Chorus:
But somehow, somehow
You sing every single word
Somehow, somehow
You sing every single word, oh

Sometimes I go, running in the dark
No and I don't know, how to read the stars
But where I run, it don't matter how far

Chorus:
Somehow, somehow
I always end up in your arms
Somehow, somehow
I always end up in your arms, oh

Somehow, somehow
Somehow, somehow

No I don't know, what happens when you die
And just the thought, you know,
it kind of blows my mind
When I look, when I look up to the sky

Chorus:
Somehow, somehow
I know that it will be alright
Somehow, somehow
I know that you will be beside, oh
