Worlds Apart Written by LBM From the album 'Songs from the north of the heart' October 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This song was apparently written about a young couple who had to break a 6-year relationship because they both went to pursue careers at opposite ends of the globe (Italy and Japan) They never spoke for a year, finally they arranged to meet but due to delays in transport they missed each other on that occasion and consequently both blamed the other and never spoke again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords Relative to a capo on the 1st (first) fret.

Verse 1 Send me a postcard, sing me a song Write me a letter, its been so long What to say, where to start Girl we're worlds apart Pick up the phone, drop me a line You'd be so clear if you spoke your heart But now we're worlds apart Pre-Chorus (Normal strumming from this point on) /B# We've been facing up to this, for such a long time But hey you made up your mind?? Chorus We're worlds apart, you're east i'm west We've had the good times, now they're laid to rest The clock moves forward, never back Its time to get our lives back on track Verse 2 The lights are out, there's no-one home You packed your bags for the roads to Rome Travelling far on your horse and cart Further and further apart This storms been brewing for most this year You set us drifting from the end of that pier Now its over and we both played a part Oh worlds apart Pre Chorus and Chorus Bridge Twenty Four Seven I was waiting for you Wishing you would turn up right out of the blue I remember the moment under a bright nights sky The stars above knew that you'd walked on by You walked on by (repeated three times) Followed by Chorus twice.
