[Verse]
Ebmaj7
I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners
          F                            Dm7
Which was standard for me, Thursday, 12:30,
Ebmaj7
I got a pretty solid routine these days
F                              Dm7
I don't know, it just works for me
Ebmaj7                                  F
Anyway, I was leaving I was getting in my car
                                       Dm7
And I went to adjust the rearview mirror
Ebmaj7                                   F
but in its reflection...just for a second...I saw a figure...started to trigger
F
Memories of what I had learned...stopped me in my tracks
F
Who was that? it was my lover...my lover from a past life

[Chorus]
       Ebmaj7  F              Dm7
From a past life (feel like I saw a ghost)
       Ebmaj7 F                Dm7
From a past life (so unexpected)
       Ebmaj7 F                   Dm7
From a past life (I was transfixed)
       Ebmaj7 F
From a past life

[Verse]
Ebmaj7                                      F
Well, somewhere between a lover and a friend

It was different back then
Ebmaj7                  F                        Dm7          Ebmaj7
Surreal, poetic so I'd say, like a bizarre chick flick with a confusing end
                  F
But I shut it down, closed it off
F
The sounds and smells I made myself forget
F                                                      C
A cheap solution to block out a friend, but it was real
                               Dm7
It just feels like a past life

[Chorus]
       Ebmaj7  F       Dm7
From a past life (crazy)
       Ebmaj7                                   F             Dm7
From a past life (it takes a lot to trip me out)I know you ???
       Ebmaj7  F Dm7
For the first time
     Ebmaj7  F                 Dm7
In a long time (I know you ???)

[Verse]
Cm7                     Dm7
So I go about my day as normal
                                                 Cm7
but I can't seem to pass it off as just a random event
              Dm7
It consumes me
                                                             Cm7
I thought I was moving on but I guess I was just switching off
                                           Dm7
And now I see my life as the banal slog it instantly became
                                       Ebmaj7
And I don't know if I can go on the same
                                  Bb F
But I don't wanna dig up old bones
                                                        Bb F
I mean, I don't even know if she has the same phone number
         Cm7             Dm7
Who knows? Maybe she does

[Chorus]
Ebmaj7      F                                      Dm7
From a past life (I guess there's no harm in trying)
Ebmaj7      F                                        Dm7
From a past life (What's the worst that could happen?)
Ebmaj7         F   Dm7
For the first time
Ebmaj7      F
In a long time (I tried to say it but it never came out right)
Ebmaj7  F Dm7
Past life
Ebmaj7        F                                              Dm7
From a past life (you're not a stranger if you're always on my mind)
Ebmaj7        F                                            Dm7
For the first time (I know it's late, it just didn't feel right)
Ebmaj7     F   Dm7
In a long time
