Given the limited number of notes in a Western scale (12 in all) and the limited number of chords that you can create with those notes, it's inevitable that eventually the same progression will be used to write more than one song.
Many songwriters come back to the well and reuse chord progressions that sound good to them, but they may play them in a different octave or they may add different inversions of those chords, or they may change the rhythm used in the progression to write a different song.
It's okay to use the same chord progression in different songs, but it's prudent to make subtle changes to alter the feeling of the song. When you put the lyrics down, make sure to use a different melody and lyrical rhythm and that will go a long way toward creating a different feel for your song.
Always remember this, the "Alphabet Song", "Baa Baa Black Sheep", and "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" all share the same melody. If they can get away with it, so can you!
well it depends on the lyrics yu pair up if your not carfull people will be able to identify the fact that your chord progression is the same but if you are carefull and choose diffrent lyrics it may work very well but something new is always going to sound more thought out
