[Gm] [Cm] [D]
[Gm]
Lonely table just [C] for one [Gm] [D]
in a bright and [Cm] crowded [Gm] room.
[C] [Gm]
While the music has [Cm] begun, [C] [D]
I drink to memories in [Gm] the [C] gloom.
[Gm]
Though [D] the [Gm] music's still [Cm] the same, [D]
it has a bittersweet [G] refrain.
So play [Bm] the song the way it used [D] to be, before it all [G] goes saddening.
[D] And maybe [C] if [Gb] she's passing [C] by [G] the window, she will hear [D] our love song and the [G] melody.
[C] And even if the words are not [G] so tender, she will [D] always [C] remember [Bm] the way [Am] it [Gm] used to be.
[Eb] [Abm]
Friends stop by and [Db] say hello, [Abm] [Dbm] [Eb]
and I laugh [Abm] and hide the pain.
[Abm]
[Gb] It's quite [Abm] easy [Dbm] to let go.
[Eb]
Then the song [Ab] begins again.
So [Fm] play the [Ab] song the way it [Eb] used to be,
before [Bbm] it [Eb] [Ab] [Db]
all goes saddening.
If she's [Db] passing [Ab] by the window, she will [Eb] hear our love song and the [Ab] melody.
[Db]
[Eb] And even [Db] if the words [Ab] are not so tender, she will always [Eb] remember the way [G] it [Eb] used to [Ab]
be.
[Bbm] And even if the words are not so tender, she will always remember the way it used to be.
[Gm]
Lonely table just [C] for one [Gm] [D]
in a bright and [Cm] crowded [Gm] room.
[C] [Gm]
While the music has [Cm] begun, [C] [D]
I drink to memories in [Gm] the [C] gloom.
[Gm]
Though [D] the [Gm] music's still [Cm] the same, [D]
it has a bittersweet [G] refrain.
So play [Bm] the song the way it used [D] to be, before it all [G] goes saddening.
[D] And maybe [C] if [Gb] she's passing [C] by [G] the window, she will hear [D] our love song and the [G] melody.
[C] And even if the words are not [G] so tender, she will [D] always [C] remember [Bm] the way [Am] it [Gm] used to be.
[Eb] [Abm]
Friends stop by and [Db] say hello, [Abm] [Dbm] [Eb]
and I laugh [Abm] and hide the pain.
[Abm]
[Gb] It's quite [Abm] easy [Dbm] to let go.
[Eb]
Then the song [Ab] begins again.
So [Fm] play the [Ab] song the way it [Eb] used to be,
before [Bbm] it [Eb] [Ab] [Db]
all goes saddening.
If she's [Db] passing [Ab] by the window, she will [Eb] hear our love song and the [Ab] melody.
[Db]
[Eb] And even [Db] if the words [Ab] are not so tender, she will always [Eb] remember the way [G] it [Eb] used to [Ab]
be.
[Bbm] And even if the words are not so tender, she will always remember the way it used to be.
