G G                              Dm/G Dm/G
I wish that we could talk about it,
F F C C
But there, that's the problem.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
With someone new I could have started,
F F C C
Too late, for beginnings.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
The little things that made me harassed,
F F C C
Are gone, in a moment.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
I miss the way we used to argue,
F F C C
Locked, in your basement.

G G Dm/G Dm/G
I wake up and the phone is ringing,
F F C C
Surprised, as it's early.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
And that should be the perfect warning,
F F C C
That something's, a problem.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
To tell the truth I saw it coming,
F F C C
The way, you were breathing.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
But nothing can prepare you for it,
F F C C
The voice, on the other, end.

G G Dm/G Dm/G
The worst is all the lovely weather,
F F C C
I'm sad, it's not raining.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
The coffee isn't even bitter,
F F C C
Because, what's the difference?
G G Dm/G Dm/G
There's all the work that needs to be done,
F F C C
It's late, for revision.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
There's all the time and all the planning,
F F C C
And songs, to be finished.

G G
And it keeps coming,
Dm/G Dm/G
And it keeps coming,
F F
And it keeps coming,
C C
Till the day it stops
(Repeat x3)
G G, Dm/G Dm/G, F F, C C
And it keeps coming,
(Repeat x7)
Till the day it stops.

G G Dm/G Dm/G
I wish that we could talk about it,
F F C C
But there, that's the problem.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
With someone new I could have started,
F F C C
Too late, for beginnings.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
You're smaller than my wife imagined,
F F C C
Surprised, you were human.
G G Dm/G Dm/G
There shouldn't be this ring of silence,
F F C C
But what, are the options?

G G Dm/G Dm/G F F C C
When someone great is gone.
(Repeat x8)

G G Dm/G Dm/G F F C C
We're safe, for the moment.
G G
Saved,
Dm/G Dm/G F F C C
For the moment

About this song: Someone Great

"Someone Great" is the third single from LCD Soundsystem's critically acclaimed second album Sound of Silver. The single was released on October 22, 2007 in the UK. The music video is directed by Doug Aitken. The song itself is about loss, although the lyrics (and video) make it unclear as to whether it's regarding a death or the end of a romantic relationship. One theory is that it is about the birth of a stillborn child:
