A                        E
There's nothing quite as lonely
 F#m                    D
As a sky that turns to grey
  A                        E
Or a love that just starts dyin'
  F#m             D
And slowly fades away

[Chorus]
  C                  G
You were my best companion
 C                      G
Now we lie silent in the dark
 C                        Bm B         E
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

[Verse]
  A                        E
There's nothing quite as empty
  F#m             D
As when children go away
  A                        E
And all that's left are memories
  F#m             D
Of all those yesterdays

[Chorus]
  C                  G
You can't understand the feeling
  C                  G
'Till it finds its way to your heart
 C                        Bm B         E
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

[Instrumental]
A E F#m D
C G C G C D E

[Verse]
  A                        E
There's nothing quite as ugly
  F#m             D
As two people full of hate
  A                   E
We'll all end up as equals
  F#m             D
When we stand at heaven's gate

[Chorus]
  C                  G
Love is still the answer
  C                  G
It's the only place to start
 C                        Bm B         E
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart

  C                  G
Love is still the answer
  C                  G
It's the only place to start
 C                        Bm B         E
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
