Biografia:
Jason Robert Brown is an American musical theatre composer and lyricist from Ossining, New York. His career began with the unorthodox Songs for a New World, whose original off-Broadway production ran for 28 performances at the WPA Theater in New York City in 1995. The show sits on the boundary between musical and song cycle: it is a series of largely disjoint songs with (unlike a musical) no plot or characters that continue from song to song, but the songs and production themselves are highly theatrical and character-driven.

[Verse 1]
C G Am
There was this kid a few years back,
G
A little older than me,
F C Am G
Who lived in my house and looked a lot like my mother.
C G Am G
There was this kid I knew back then and I was sure he would be
F G F C
The greatest star I'd ever known.
F Am G
I'd watch him walk into a room and he was never out of place,
F C Am G
He knew the answer to every question.
F Am
The square and cube of every prime
G
A name to go with every face,
F G F C
Like he was king upon a throne.
F C
[Chorus 1]
C Am
And we had nothing in common,
F C
Nothing in common.
F F F Am G
My mother was convinced that I failed english out of spite.
C Am
We had nothing in common
F C
Nothing in common.
F F F Am G
And 30-some years later i'm still tortured and amazed
F G C
By how Daivd always got the answers right.
C G Am G
F G
[Verse 2]
C G Am
Now later on, I knew this guy,
G
He was in high school I think,
F C Am G
Had lots of friends and was the pride of the family.
C G Am G
He'd call me names and punch my head and made me feel like a dink
F G F C
And I would hide from him all day.
F Am
But if I couldn't find a friend
G
(Which happened more than i'd have liked)
F C Am G
I'd go where he was and sulk around him.
F Am G
He'd say, "You don't know how to throw, and just don't play your stupid songs,"
F G F C
And then he'd toss the ball my way.
F C
[Chorus 2]
C Am
We had nothing in common,
F C
Nothing in common.
F F F Am G
I thought he was a jerk and who knows what he thought I'd be.
C Am
We had nothing in common,
F C
Nothing in common.
F F F Am G
But 20-some years later I'm still grateful and surprised
F G C
By the little gifts that David gave to me.
G Am Am Am
[Verse 3]
F Am
I knew this guy before I wed
G F
He had a vision in his head
C G Am F
Of how his life would play out and his dreams would come true
F C
But he was stumbling, he was stalled
C Am
And every year after he called
Am F Am G G
I'd just think man, there goes the lonliest guy I ever knew
[Bridge]
G F
People think i'm failing
G
They never understand
F
But temporary set backs
F
Are part of what I planned
G
And David had his vision
F
And David played his game
F C F
We have nothing much in common
F G C
But we are more or less the same
[Break]

[Verse 4]
C G Am G F
There was a guy who met a girl who had a cat that fell in love
C G
That got a home and made a vow
Am F C G
He took her hand and they lived happily ever after
F C G F C G
Happily ever after
F C G F C G
Here's to happily ever after
F C G G
Happily ever after
