I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You Chords & Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You
guitar chords lyrics
D
My first crush on an Irish girl,
I was ten years old
And her name was Elaine.
Little red-head girl;
Well, she looked like you,
But if you were ten.
Bm7
Which you�re clearly not.
G2
Not that you look old,
Em11
But you get my...
I�ll just stop now.
D
Okay, wait, �cause I had a point -
No, I swear I did!
Well, I think I did,
Bm7
Which is all my life
Bm7/A
(Or since I was ten)
Bm7/G
I have had a yen
Bm7/F# Em11
For an Irish lass.
C2
Because God knows why,
G2/A
Like the ancient curse
D
Of the shiksa queens.
Do I talk too much?
Bm7
Which is not to say
Bm7/A
That I�d want Elaine,
Bm7/G
Who turned out to be
Bm7/F#
(When I last checked in)
Bm7/E
A Republican
D
And a parapsychologist.
F Bb/F Cm/F
If you�ve got a four-leaf clover,
F
You can make my dreams come true.
I will be your Hebrew slave:
Db2 Eb2 F
Just do the things that Irish girls do.
Talk about potato famines,
I begin to cry on cue!
Eb/F
Sing about the Emerald Isle and
Ab/Bb
Get your Irish eyes to smilin� -
Db/Eb D
I could be in love with someone like you.
D
I just left a relationship
With a lovely girl
Named Alyssa Levine.
She was really great,
It was all my fault -
I just got upset
�Cause she slept with my brother.
Bm7
So I made a vow
Bm7/A
Not to get caught up
Bm7/G
In the dating scene
Bm7/F#
Or the whole routine
Bm7/E
With the cousin�s friend
Bm7/F#
Or the who-knows-what,
Bm7/G
Like I need that shit.
D
I�ve got marks to make,
D/E
I�ve got steps to climb,
D/F#
It�s the perfect time!
D/G
I�ve got books to write,
D/A
I�ve got things to do -
D/B
I go out my door
D/C
And bump into you,
D
And the jig is up,
D/E
And my vow is through!
D/F# G6
I don�t know what I�m coin�,
D2/F# Em11
But come in and ruin me!
F Bb/F Cm/F
I will write my own �Ulysses�
F
If you�re there to show me how.
Take me back to Glocca Morra,
Db2 Eb2 F
Bathe me in the River Shannon now.
If you�ll be Mrs. O�Leary,
Baby, I will be your cow.
Eb/F
I�ll deliver shamrocks daily,
Ab/Bb
Buy your pa a new shillelagh,
Db/Eb
I could be in love with someone like...
Eb6 AbMaj7/Eb
You could be my inspiration
Eb6
And get me past this block,
D#aug
And walk me through the Great Unknown.
Eb2 AbMaj7/Eb
You could be my true salvation,
Eb2
Unchain me from this rock,
Cb2
And keep me from being alone,
�Cause I�m no good at being alone!
F Bb/F Cm/F
Take me to another level!
F
Let me play in bigger halls!
I will do a Riverdance
Db2 Eb2 F
As long as you keep answering my calls!
Get me out of my apartment!
Keep me from my empty walls!
Eb/F
Someone hire John McCormack!
Cb7
Start the Wearing of the Green!
Ab/Bb
Let me win the Irish Sweepstakes!
Db/Eb
Let me take you home, Kathleen!
I can be in love with someone!
I can be in love with someone!
Db/Eb
I can be in love with
Db6add9
Someone
Cm7b9 C7b9
Like
F
you!
