Title:
“Parallel Lines”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Met you on a [G] crowded train
[Em] You were shelter [D] from the rain
[C] Our laughs echoed [G] in the night
[Em] Knew something [D] felt so right

(Chorus)
[G] We’re like parallel [D] lines
[Em] Close but never [C] intertwine
[G] Inching closer with [D] time
[Em] Will we ever [C] align?

(Verse 2)
[C] Underneath the [G] city lights
[Em] Two hearts dancing [D] in the night
[C] Whispering secrets [G] in the air
[Em] Our story’s [D] going somewhere

(Chorus)
[G] We’re like parallel [D] lines
[Em] Close but never [C] intertwine
[G] Trying to decipher [D] the signs
[Em] Will we ever [C] align?

(Bridge)
[Am] Love’s labyrinth we [Em] tread
[G] Unspoken words unsaid
[Am] A future left [Em] unwritten
[G] In a story [D] forbidden

(Chorus)
[G] We’re like parallel [D] lines
[Em] Close but never [C] intertwine
[G] Trapped in love’s [D] design
[Em] Will we ever [C] align?

(Outro)
[C] Just like parallel [G] lines
[Em] Wishing for a [D] sign
[C] Will our stars ever [G] align?
