[Verse 1]
      Bm   D       G   Bm
We're justified in memory,
   A            G
so say what you feel
    Bm       D
But don't confuse your
G   Bm        A         G
memories with something real

[Chorus]
G                 D
 Remember days of chasing
 and reeling
G                 Bm
 Playing tunes to block
 out the bad dreams
G          D                 A
 Lost in a reverie of future days,
 la la la la la
G              D
 It's all been seen
             G
 somewhere before, babe
    Bm                A
Now time's not on our side
        G
See the flicker as
                 Bm
a fire starts to burn
         D      G
It's not enough,
              Bm
burn down the world for me
      A           G
Use a mirror to remember, and look
                         D
back with something like love

[Verse 2]
  Bm     D       G
I wonder why and how
   Bm       A       G
it was we became so jaded
           Bm    D         G     Bm
You should never wish your time away,
        A        G
now the pictures faded

[Chorus]
G                D
 No more days of chasing and reeling
G                 Bm
 Playing tunes to block
 out the bad dreams
G          D                 A
 Lost in a reverie of future days,
 la la la la la
G              D
 It's all been seen
             G
 somewhere before, babe

It's not enough,
              Bm
burn down the world for me

Use a mirror to remember,
and look back with
               D             Bm
something like love la la la la la

a fire starts to burn

It's never enough.

How to play Something Like Love: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Something Like Love by Andy Bell on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Something Like Love by Andy Bell is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 4 chords in all: Bm, D, G and A.

The backbone of the song is D – G – Bm – A (I – IV – vi – V in D major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
