G  Em  Bm  D
G  Em  Am  D

[Verse]
      G        Em      Bm         D
In my parallel life, I would be a painter
G           Em             Am    D
Colours and light would be all I see
      G        Em        Bm          D
In my parallel life, I'd live in the mountains
    G            Em      Am          D
And spend all my summers down by the sea

[Verse]
      G        Em         Bm         D
In my parallel life, I would take up dancing
G         Em          Am      D
I'd be so graceful out on the floor
      G        Em        Bm           D
In my parallel life, I'd do all these things
Em             D
And more - for sure

[Chorus]
      Am
In my parallel life
      Em
I can reach for the stars
      C
I can be what I want
      D
I can be where you are

[Instrumental]
G  Em  Bm  D
G  Em  Am  D

[Verse]
      G        Em           Bm              D
In my parallel life, I could pick the phone up
G              Em         Am    D
I'd make you laugh with my repartee
      G        Em           Bm        D
In my parallel life, I would have the courage
      Em                      D
But I just don't know what to say

[Chorus]
      Am
In my parallel life
      Em
I can reach for the stars
      C
I can be what I want
      D
I can be where you are

[Instrumental]
G  Em  Bm  D  C

[Bridge]
             Bm
But parallel lines never meet
   D                    G                 C
So there I was, walking down your street
            Bm               Am   D
I rang your bell, but I ran away
 Am   D
Away
 G    D   G   Am  D
Away

[Verse]
      G        Em            Bm         D
In my parallel life, I could solve this mystery
G           Em           Am      D
Like Agatha Christie, I'd have a clue
      G        Em            Bm    D
In my parallel life, I would act exactly
     Em                D
Like someone who knows what to do

[Chorus]
             Am
'Cause in my parallel life
      Em
I can reach for the stars
      C
I can be what I want
      D
I can be where you are

[Chorus]
      Am
In my parallel life
      Em
I can reach for the stars
      C
I can be what I want
      D                G
I can be where you are___

[Outro]
G  Em  Bm  D
G  Em  Am  D
      G               Em  Bm
I can be where you are
         D               G   Em
Be right there where you are
Am  D
Oh, yeah
G  Em  Bm  D
G  Em  Am  D
G  Em  Bm  D
G  Em  Am  D
