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