The Way We Were

C7M     Em7           F7M      Am9   Am  F7M
Mem'ries      light the corners of my mind
  Em7           E7  Am     Am7+     F7M
Misty water-colored mem'ries
    E4/7    E7  C7M Am7 Dm7 G7
of the way   we were
 C7M     Em7      F7M          Am9    Am     F7M
Scattered pictures     of the smiles we left behind
      Em7    E7   Am  Am7+  F7M         E4/7    E7 C7M  C7
Smiles we gave to one another      for the way   we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Em        Em7         A7sus4    A7
Or has time rewritten every line
Dm          Dm7+    Dm7
If we had the chance to do it all again
Em7      C7M      F      G7
Tell me, would we, could we
 C7M    Em7     F7M        Am9    Am F7M
Mem'ries   may be beautiful and yet
       Em7    E7     Am  Am7+ F7M
What's too painful to remember
    E4/7     E7   Am7    Am7/G F7M
We simply choose to forget
          Em7    F7M          Em7    F7M
So it's the laughter     we will remember
       Em7  Am7 Dm7
Whenever we remember
 Dm7/G    C7M  F7M F
The way we were
  Fm    C   F7M C7M
The way we were
