Worlds Apart Written by LBM From the album 'Songs from the north of the heart' October 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This song was apparently written about a young couple who had to break a 6-year relationship because they both went to pursue careers at opposite ends of the globe (Italy and Japan) They never spoke for a year, finally they arranged to meet but due to delays in transport they missed each other on that occasion and consequently both blamed the other and never spoke again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords Relative to a capo on the 1st (first) fret.
