Mm
[Verse 1]
G
Maybe somewhere down the line
I was stranded on my own
Em
Maybe I had bad luck
Some tragedy unknown
G
Maybe I was a worker
With a back that's always sore
Em
Maybe I was a mother
Who knew she needed more
[Chorus]
Am
In a past life
G Gmaj7/F#
Cause this sadness that I have
Am
Could never be mine
G Gmaj7/F#
All this aching in my bones
Am
Just never felt right
C
I've seen good light
Em
And I've had a nice time
F C
But maybe a past life
[Verse 2]
G
Maybe I was a lilac
Sprouting right at the turn of fall
Em
Maybe I was an anthill
On a playground getting stomped
G
I don't know how I
Wound up all tangled up inside
Em
But I think someone out there somewhere
Had a hand in turning the wind
[Chorus]
Am
In a past life
G Gmaj7/F#
Cause this sadness that I have
Am
Could never be mine
G Gmaj7/F#
All this aching in my bones
Am
Just never felt right
C
I've seen good light
Em
And I've had a nice time
F C
But maybe a past life
F C
Maybe a past life
[Bridge]
Am
A hundred billion years
Em
I'd live a hundred billion years
G
And I'd be right where I am
Right where I am
I'd be right where I am
Am
A hundred billion years
Em
I'd live a hundred billion years
G
Just to be right where I am
Right where I am
I'd be right where I am
[Chorus]
Am
In a past life
G Gmaj7/F#
Cause this sadness that I have
Am
Could never be mine
G Gmaj7/F#
All this aching in my bones
Am
Just never felt right
C
I've seen good light
Em
And I've had a nice time
F C
But maybe a past life
F C
Maybe a past life
F C
Maybe a past life
