Composer Fred Rose (1897 - 1954) wrote some of the most popular country music songs and was a mentor for many country singer-songwriters. He began his recording career in the 1920s for Brunswick Records, and formed a duo called The Tune Peddlers with singer/whistler Elmo Tanner in Chicago, landing a regular radio spot on WKYW and later hosting his own program, "Fred Rose's Song Show". After writing some songs for Gene Autry, he teamed up with Grand Ole Opry star Roy Acuff in 1942 to form Acuff-Rose Publishing, Nashville's first music publishing firm and the first to focus on country songs. He returned to songwriting in 1945 with several hits, including "Pins and Needles," "No One Will Ever Know," "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," "Roly Poly," "It's a Sin," "Texarkana Baby," "Waltz of the Wind," and this song, "We Live in Two Different Worlds."
When Hank Williams signed to MGM in 1947, Rose became his manager and producer, co-writing several classics including "A Mansion on the Hill," "Kaw-Liga," "Crazy Heart," "Settin' the Woods on Fire," "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive," and "Take These Chains From My Heart." He and Acuff also wrote several crossover hits such as "You Belong to Me," "Tennessee Waltz," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Slow Poke," and "Hey Good Lookin'."
He was posthumously honored as one of the first three inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the other two being Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers.
The song has been recorded by many artists including Roy Acuff, Slim Whitman, Hank Locklin, Tex Ritter, Carl Smith, Don Gibson, Hank Williams and Engelbert Humperdink.

Lyrics and chords:
E ...................................... A
We live in two different worlds, dear.
E ....................................... B7
That's why we're so far apart.
E ............................................. A
You made your world out of vows that are broken;
E ............ B7 ............. E
I built a world in my heart.
Everyone here tried to warn me
You were just playing a game.
I told them all we were meant for each other.
I thought our worlds were the same.
If you stay over in your world
Oh, how my poor heart will pine.
Darling, someday when your memories wander
Won't you come over in mine?
We live in two different worlds, dear.
My world is honest and true.
Sweetheart, remember when your world gets lonesome
I'll still be waiting for you.
