Two different directions

(instrumental = verse 1, line 1 : ) C - G - F - C - F - G - C

C G F C F G C

1. They say they love each other, I’ve no doubt they do,

F G Am F Dm G

they say they’ll always be together, that may not be true.

C G F C F G C

They come from different places, different points of view,

F G Am F Dm F G

they find themselves in different spaces, everything is all brand new.

C G F G C

Two different directions, too many different ways,

F G C Am F G

one always on the road somewhere, the other one always stays.

C G F G C

Too often unhappy, too often on your own,

F G Am F Dm G C

when you are moving in different directions, true love is all alone.

C G F C F G C

2. Old stories start to surface, patterns from long ago,

F G Am F Dm F G

and loving quickly turns to anger for reasons they don’t even know.

C G F C F G C

The strongest heart can be broken with one insensitive word,

F G Am F

the deepest feelings remain unspoken,

Dm F G

no one is seen and nothing heard.

C G F G C

Two different directions, too many different ways,

F G C Am F G

one always wants to work things out, the other one wants to play.

C G F G C

Too ready for changes, too much that just can’t wait,

F G Am F Dm G C

when you are moving in different directions, true love can turn to hate.

Am Em F C F G C

If opposites attract each other, what’s the reason for

F G Am F Dm F G

one being like an open window, one just like a closing door.

C G F G C

Two different directions, too many different ways,

F G C Am F G

one likes to see the morning sunrise, the other one sleeps in late.

C G F G C

Too many tomorrows, too many times too late,

F G Am F

when you are moving in different directions,

Dm G C

true love may have to wait.

F G Am F

If you are committed to different directions,

Dm G C - G - F - C - F - G - C

true love will have to wait.
