[Chorus]
Dmaj7
I'll never tell how
D7
Hard it is to see you
Gmaj7                   G7
With somebody else now, else now
Dmaj7
Back when I fell down
D7
It's you who picked me up
Gmaj7                  
I hope that you're well
      G7
 now, well now

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7                D7
Remember when we'd fight up
 in the crib together?
Gmaj7               G7
We used to stay up, we 
used to make love
Dmaj7                D7
Now I fight with myself, 
I hope this shit gets better
Gmaj7
But we won't make up
G7
And that's best for us

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7                               
Never thought I'd see you leave me,
 Am7
 never thought it'd be that easy
                            Gmaj7
Loving you was just like breathing, 
now you only see me on TV
                                Gm7
Why are good times oh, so fleeding?
F#m7
Now I'm drowning in the memories
                    Am7
Second guessing all the friendlies
                             Gmaj7
Why was I consumed with envy?
                                  Gm7
Not even a quarter century, too young
 to be feeling empty

[Chorus]
Dmaj7
I'll never tell how
D7
Hard it is to see you
Gmaj7                   G7
With somebody else now, else now
Dmaj7
Back when I fell down
D7
It's you who picked me up
Gmaj7                        G7
I hope that you're well now, well now

[Bridge]
F#m7                        
Don't say what you wanna say, 
        Am7
don't talk about yesterday
Gmaj7                            
Don't act like you're being played,
                Gm7
 yes, you're the one who initiated

[Chorus]
       Dmaj7
Well, now
D7                                
It's hard to see you with somebody
            Gmaj7    G7
 else now, else now
Oh, oh

How to play Somebody Else: key, chords and progression

To play Somebody Else by Daniel Caesar, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 7 chords: Dmaj7, D7, Gmaj7, G7, F#m7, Am7 and Gm7.

Listen for Dmaj7 – D7 – Gmaj7 – G7 (Vmaj7 – V7 – Imaj7 – I7 in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – soh – doh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F#m7 and Gm7 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
