A Different Life

Setting yesterday's mess aside and I'm happy to agree to disagree. I hope you feel the same. As Elvis says, "it's just a song."

Anyway, I could use help on this one as the chords in the chorus are the same as the verses. I tried various other chords but kept going off key. So, if anyone has any suggestions for chords in the verses, please share them. Appreciate all of you!

A DIFFERENT LIFE

[Chorus]

Maybe in a different life

Maybe in a different life

We might’ve gotten along

Sung the same song

 

[Verse 1]

We would’ve liked each other

Would’ve made each other strong

You would’ve stood up for me

Never would’ve found me wrong

 

[Chorus]

Maybe in a different life

Maybe in a different life

We might’ve gotten along

Sung the same song

 

[Verse 2]

Perhaps you’ve been here before

In all of your déjà vu

Perhaps it’s my first time around

I’ve got catching up to do

 

[Chorus]

Maybe in a different life

Maybe in a different life

We might’ve gotten along

Sung the same song

 

[Verse 3]

Maybe we get another chance

Maybe we die like the stars

But if there’s another world out there

Maybe I’ll see you on Mars

 

[Chorus]

Maybe in a different life

Maybe in a different life

We might’ve gotten along

Sung the same song

 

[Bridge]

Maybe in a

Maybe in a

Maybe there’s peace all around

Maybe in a

Maybe in a

Maybe harmony abounds

 

[Music, light whistling]

 

[Chorus]

Maybe in a different life

Maybe in a different life

We might’ve gotten along

Sung the same song..

  • Renee, here's something to try in the verses just to get you into a different frame, it may not be where you finally end up.

    @RainyDayMan I think I LOVE it!!! Lemme play around with it...I definitely love the Am C D and I'm singing it better with C D versus D C ... we'll see! I'll re-post it in this thread after I re-record it and I'll tag you. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are the magic bullet I needed!! Dang... I think C G C G C G then your Am C D....so far, this works best. But like you said it may not be where I finally end up. I'm limited on vocal range so that's probably the problem Lol!

  • Catchy tune and a good simple lyric. I particularly like verse 2. The chorus is basically the same as the verse, as you say - at least until you try out Owen's suggestions - but it doesn't seem to matter.
