Chords and Lyrics for "Something Changed" by Pulp
Lyrics taken from Anthony Bailey's Pulp Pages:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~baileya/Pulp
Chords transcribed by Dave Twisleton xd321dt01@ntu.ac.uk
[Verse 1]
G Bm C
I wrote this song two hours before we met
G Bm C
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet Oh
C D Bm E
I could have stayed at home and gone to bed
C D Bm E
I could have gone to see a film instead
Bm E Am D
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
Bm E Am D Am7 D
Life could have been very different but then something changed
[D Dsus4 D G Gsus4 G]
[Verse 2] (same chords as verse 1)
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
And does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say
"Stop questions that don't matter anyway
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today something changed"
[D Dsus4 D G Gsus4 G]
[G Bm C] x2
C D Bm E
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
C D Bm E
that in a matter of hours we change the way we were going
Bm E Bm E Am D
where would I be now? Where would I be now if we never met?
Bm E Am D
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
Am7 D G
I don't know, but like you just said
G
something changed.

| I love the first line of this song. It's pretty self-explanatory, and unlike a lot of Pulp songs, it's a straight up-and-down ode to love, which is either disappointing next to the rest of the band's work, or a refreshing change, depending on your mood. | |

| Yeah, this song is saying 'What if we'd never met on that day, would we have met another time or not?' and how things would never be the way they are now. Really sweet song, which is a bit different for Pulp! | |

| On the first line, it's just a literary device, I think. I also think this song is more about chance than anything. Like, fate can do so much, but then it's left entirely up to you. Jargvis has said loads of times he doesn't believe in fate or destiny - so, maybe this is just a song about a chance meeting that ended up quite nicely? | |

| And on roger wilco's comment about the first line being contradictory, I thought about it, and I think that he's singing about another song that he wrote and he's showing the woman the song he wrote. That's just my thought though | |

| this choon contradicts itself in the first line. how could he have written a song about a person or situation he had yet to encounter? plus it is all written in past tense! a beautiful song, tho. a true gem. | |

| Marlowe I wondered the same about the first line, like he's wondering whether his next big love is just around the corner...but mainly I thought it was just a literary device. And I agree that this is a straight-up sincere love song, perhaps the only one in Pulp's catalogue not laced with bitterness or irony. | |

| I take the "I wrote this song two hours before we met..." literally. The song isn't so much about wondering what would've happened if you never met someone but wanting to meet someone when you don't have anyone. The narrator is predicting that in two hours he will meet this wonderful person and it will change his life. It's incredibly optimistic as well as bittersweet. What happens in two hours if there isn't anyone special? I find this song very sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. | |

| The one who asked about the first line, Jarvis always got a tune in his head and wrote the music before the words. For this song, the tune came into his head and then he met this person and he suddenly knew what the song had to be about. I love this song.♥ | |

| I love this song, the meaning is pretty self explanatory - what if he'd never gone on this blind date and stood her up? | |

| I always thought it was "I wrote this song to us before we met" not two hours | |

| It could be he wrote the music two hours before he met her but added the word later. At least thats how ive always looked at it | |
