[Verse]
D Em G D
Our place is outside the house, where house rules won't be broken
C G D
I set aside a piece of my soul
D Em G D
The ring around the moon at night will be my only token
C G D
I'll place it on your finger when we go
[Chorus]
Em G D C
We lead parallel lives
Em G D
Never too far and never to touch
Em G D C
We lead parallel lives
Em G D
And I love you very much
[Verse]
D Em G D
Separated by a gap in time I remember our first kiss
C G D
That's not the only thing that I miss
D Em G D
Every wink, every unsaid word, every song we listened to
C G D
I'm blessed with the memories of you
[Chorus]
Em G D C
We lead parallel lives
Em G D
With respect in our resistance
Em G D C
We lead parallel lives
Em G D
And we're one in our distance
[Bridge]
Bm A G D
As we are, we're worlds apart but I can still command your eye
Bm A G D
I can make you smile, twitch or blush
Bm A G D
And the other night when the lunar light had spread across the sky
C D
It wasn't the white wine that gave the rush
[Chorus]
Em G D C
We lead parallel lives
Em G D
Like an arrow straight and true
Em G D C
We lead parallel lives
Em G D
That of me and that of you
[Verse]
D Em G D
I'll be sure and let you know when I'm coming back to town
C G D
You say that when I'm home you like to see me
D Em G D
You might get a letter or two but you'll never find me at your door
C G D
I hear the air in Georgia's kind of sticky
[Coda]
Em G D C
So we'll lead parallel lives
Em G D
That will never come together
Em G D C
We'll lead parallel lives
Em G D
And perhaps it's for the better
Em G D C | Em G | D |
We'll lead parallel lives
Em G D C | Em G | D |
We lead parallel lives
