Tom : G
G Em Bm D G Em Am D
[Verse]
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I would be a painter
G Em Am D
Colours and light would be all I see
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I'd live in the mountains
G Em Am D
And spend all my summers down by the sea
[Verse]
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I would take up dancing
G Em Am D
I'd be so graceful out on the floor
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I'd do all these things
Em D
And more - for sure
[Chorus]
Am
In my parallel life
Em
I can reach for the stars
C
I can be what I want
D
I can be where you are
[Instrumental]
G Em Bm D G Em Am D
[Verse]
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I could pick the phone up
G Em Am D
I'd make you laugh with my repartee
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I would have the courage
Em D
But I just don't know what to say
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
G Em Bm D C
[Bridge]
Bm
But parallel lines never meet
D G C
So there I was, walking down your street
Bm Am D
I rang your bell, but I ran away
Am D
Away
G D G Am D
Away
[Verse]
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I could solve this mystery
G Em Am D
Like Agatha Christie, I'd have a clue
G Em Bm D
In my parallel life, I would act exactly
Em D
Like someone who knows what to do
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause in my parallel life
Em
I can reach for the stars
C
I can be what I want
D
I can be where you are
[Chorus]
[Outro]
G Em Bm D G Em Am D G Em Bm
I can be where you are
D G Em
Be right there where you are
Am D
Oh, yeah
G Em Bm D G Em Am D G Em Bm D G Em Am D
