(bass - strum - strum pattern)
(Intro) E/B E A E7
Your [A]world was so different from [B7]mine don't you [E]see
We just couldn't be [E7]close though we [A]tried[E7]
We [A]both reached for heavens but [B7]ours weren't the [E]same
That's what [E/B]happens when [E]two worlds [A]collide[A7]
Y[D]our world was made up of [A]things sweet and good
M[D]y world could never fit [A]in, wish it co[E]uld
Two [A]hearts lie in shambles and oh [B7]how they've c[E]ried
That's what [E/B]happens when [E]two worlds [A]collide
(Instr) E/B E A A7
(Repeat verse 2)
