People Are Just Combinations Of Traits

A

[Chorus]

C#m                  A
People are just combinations of traits
E            B
She probably wasn’t that great
    C#m
You just liked her smile
         A
Plus for pretty face
         E
Plus the way the two of you
          B
Seemed to ride the same wav

[Verse]

    C#m                  A
But people are just combinations of traits
E            B
She probably wasn’t that great
C#m                  A               E
You can find someone to replace her
         B           N.C.
But then why does it still hurt?

[Chorus]

A               E
People are just combinations of traits
F#m          A
She probably wasn’t that great
    A
You just liked her hair
         E
Plus her pretty face
         F#m
Plus her smile
         D
Plus the way you rode the same wave

[Verse]

  A
I guess it comes down
                            E
To how the sum of someone equates

You take some eyes
                     F#m
Add that to a pretty face

You add that to all the things she'd say
    D
You add that to the smile
                 A
And the way when you were together
                                   E
You thought that you’d be okay for more than a day

[Pre-Chorus]

F#m                     D
But she was just a combination of traits
C#m                     A
You’ll find other combinations of traits
       E                       B
You’ll see that smile and that pretty face
  C#m                    A
Attached to someone that loves you too

[Chorus]

        E                    B
Because people are just combinations of traits
    A                       E
The sum of her parts wasn’t even that great
F#m                       D                  A
You can find better parts to replace her
         E
But then why does it still hurt?

[Verse]

A                                  D
Maybe sometimes the right traits
                                   A
And the right things done with the right traits
    E                 F#m
Combined in the right order
      D                       A
To be more than some of their parts
         E                             D
And that captures her heart and that’s love
         A
I guess?

[Bridge]

        E             F#m
You had love, I guess
                 D          A
And now it’s gone, I guess
              E                        F#m
And that’s why it still hurts, I guess

[Chorus]

          D                    B
So maybe, people are just combinations of traits
          A            E
Maybe you won’t be able to replace her
F#m                     A
Maybe you’ll never have what you had again
B
Maybe you forever lost a friend

[Outro]

   C#m                 B
Or maybe you’ll find a better combo
E
Somewhere down the line
B
Somewhere up the road
          C#m                               A
That will do the right things with the right traits
                      E
And you’ll too do the right things
                B
With your right traits
               C#m              A
And the two of you will just be right
               E                      B                            C#m
The right combination of the right combination of the right traits
                 A      E  B
Wouldn’t that be great?
