Songwriting Tip:
Use the same chord progression for the chorus and verses
Try writing a song where the chord progressions for the verse and chorus are exactly the same. This will force you to create wildly different melodies while being stuck with the same two chords.
A different melody for the verse and chorus will quite often 'imply' different chords. A combination of different melodies and different rhythmic feet will also help separate the two parts of the song even more.
For those of you that know some theory, it is like playing a I,IV,V arpeggios over a single chord. Even though it is only one chord, the arpeggios over the top of the single chord 'implies' additional chords - even though you are only playing along to one chord.
