    Gmaj                            F                      Cmaj
Theresa's eyes were like the sun to match her golden hair

    Gmaj                                       F                   Cmaj
Her cheeks flushed and her breath froze in the cold Helsinki air

    Gmaj                               F
Our souls aren't always visible by the colors that we wear

(Bb ->  Gmaj  -->   Bb   D)

Carla's eyes were like a night of mystery and ink
She bore the scars of love beneath the cover of her drink
Little did she know of love's inseperable link

(Bb ->  D ->  Gmaj)

           Cmaj             Gmaj
And they'd never known each other

      D                   Gmaj
Their lives went separate ways

Cmaj              Gmaj
Born of different mothers

        D           Gmaj
Several continents away

        Em               D
But the moment that they crossed

      Cmaj            Gmaj
Their souls were intertwined

Cmaj        Gmaj
Never to be broken

     D             Gmaj
Over continents of time



Theresa knew her father as the man she never knew
He left her to a music box on a dresser in her room
She tried to reconcile his face with rainy afternoons

Carla knew her father for all of seven years
He left her and her mother one hot summer in Tangiers
And with it all a box that became music to her ears

CHORUS

(Eb -> F -> Gm -> Eb  ->  F -> Gm)

Eb
Carla and Theresa

      F            Gm
Would meet through circumstance

Eb
How is not important

      F
If by fate or if by chance

Eb
Eyes met, tears flowed

    F                 Gm
And tumbled down like rain

          Eb
When they realized between these eyes

     F                 Gmaj
They bore one father's name


CHORUS
