Parallel Lives

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
