Worlds Apart
View chords used in this chart
Capo 1st
A E
There's nothing quite as lonely
F#m D
As a sky that turns to gray
A E
Or a love that just starts dying
F#m D
And slowly fades away
C G
You were my best companion
C G
Now we lie silent in the dark
C D? E
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays
You can't understand the feeling
'Til it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at heaven's gate
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
