When two worlds
drift apart

1. We turned water into wine,
D G A D
but
that didn't last, we were the victims of our age.
Em B7
Em
Now we live on different
floors,
D G A - C - B7
and
go our separate ways and talk behind closed doors.
E A D
We changed our world, waiting
for it all to end,
C - F# B7
it's
such a shame. But who's to blame,
E
when
two worlds drift apart ?

2. We used to sit around the fire,
D G A D
and
whisper words the world outside would make no claim to hear.
Em B7 Em
But now we talk an octave
higher,
D G A - C - B7
in
droning tones that don't relate at all to yester year.
E A D
We changed our world, waiting
for it all to end,
C - F# B7
it's
such a shame. But who's to blame,
E - E7
when
two worlds drift apart ?
E G#m
+ Do you
remember when we were seventeen,
E7 A
we took a boat out for an hour ?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A
But we preferred the greenery
to the scenery of the sea,
Am

and
tied up in some cosy cove,
Am E
till
harbour lights appeared across the bay.

Remember, remember.

3. Into
love and out of mind,
D G A D
a
poet claimed that loving you has only made me blind.
Em B7 Em
But love is really crystal
clear,
D G A - C - B7
it's
only when you need someone, the clouds will soon appear.
E A D
We changed our world, waiting
for it all to end,
C - F# B7
it's
such a shame. But who's to blame,

+ Do you remember when
laughter was the cure
E7 A
for
all the hard times that we knew ?
- - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A
But we forgot to feed the
fire, let it all burn down,
Am
E
warmth
returns to cold and poison into pain.
C - F# B7
It's such a shame. But who's to blame,
E
when
two worlds drift apart ?
A - B7 - E
Remember. Remember.
