Not That Different
by Karen Taylor-Good and Joie Scott
as recorded by Collin Raye on
"I Think About You" (1995)
Intro: D Bm G A
Bm
She said we're much too different
G
We're from two separate worlds
A D
And he admitted she was partly right
Bm
But in his heart's defense he told her
G
What they had in common
D A
Was strong enough to bond them for life
Em
He said look behind your own soul
D
And the person that you'll see
G A
Just might remind you of me
Chorus:
D Bm G A
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
D Bm G F#
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
G Em
And I know you do the same things, too
G A D
So we're really not that different, me and you
[Bm G A first time]
[Bm G A D last time]
She could hardly argue
With his pure and simple logic
But logic never could convince a heart
She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic
And he just didn't seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pastures
But never could forget
What he whispered when she left
(Chorus)
BRIDGE:
A Bm
Was it time or was it truth
G A D
Maybe both lead her back to his door
A Bm
As her tears fell at his feet
G
She didn't say "I love you"
A
What she said meant even more
(Chorus)
