Note If you want an easier chord progression
I highly suggest transposing this song two half-steps down
INTRO:
D6 G D6 G X2
VERSE 1
D6 G D6 G D6
Put inside the picture frame some tables and a coffeepot
Am7 C
A uniform a girl of tewnty-three
D6 G D6 G D6
Sitting at a table put a man of thirty-seven
Em7 G G/A
As exotic as that girl would ever see
D6 G D6 G D6
Have her standing over him and laughing as he's asking her
Am7 C
a question no one thought to ask before
D6 G D6 G D6
Color him with mystery and color her with danger
Em7 G G/A
And expose them just enough to wish for more
CHORUS:
F#m7 G
And there was something there between us
D E7
Something I could never name
F#m7 G
Something stronger something stranger
D Em7 A7
More than quick-sand more than flame
D6 G D6 G
Another life
D6 G D6 G
VERSE 2
D6 G D6 G D6
Further down the gallery a picture of a couple
Am7 C
On a honeymoon in Marrakesh somewhere
D6 G D6 G D6
See him with his camera at his eye and see her grasping
Em7 G G/A
at his hand Afraid he doesn't know she's there
CHORUS 2
F#m7 G
And there was something deep inside him
D E7
Something I could never reach
F#m7 G
Like he saw it getting closer
D Em7 A7
In a window on a beach
D6 G D6 G
Another life
BRIDGE
F#7 Bm F#7
Another life but I believed I'd grow to be
Bm E7
The thing he needed most to see
A7 D#m7 (b5)
And if our nights just stayed this hot
B9 E7 A7
I'd break him down He'd open up
D6 G D6 G
Well obviously not
VERSE 3
D6 G D6 G D6
Back there in a shadow find a picture of a woman
Am7 C
Wearing four years of confusion like a scar
D6 G D6 G D6
Walking through the door and leaving nothing but a note that says
Em7 G
I'm sorry Robert taped to her guitar
CHORUS 3
F#m7 G
And there is so much I still wonder
D E7
Did he need me Did he know
F#m7 G
Love is open love is easy
D Em7 A7
That was someone long ago
D6 G D6 G
Another life
D6 G
Another life
