The Old Songs

C       G/B Am7   Cm7    G/B  Am7         Dm  Edim  Gdim Dm7
Candles burning, glasses are chilled and soon she'll be by;

Dm         G6  G/B   Dm             G6  G/B
Hope and pray she'll say that she's willing

    C       Fdim    C
To give us another try

F                 Dm7              Esus4             Em
And if all those plans I made don't melt the lady's heart,

     F          Em7  G7
I'll put on the old 45's,


    Fdim      C9    C         G             C9    Am
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times,

G         Am7 Dm7   D7/9 Am7    F
Maybe the old lines will sound new;

G           D7/9 Dm7  G         Gdim    Dm7
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoul - der

Maybe old feelings will come through

              F      Dm7     Fdim   Bm7/5-   E7   Bm7/5- Fdim  Am
Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder  why we ever walked a - way--

G         C9   C           Am           F    Dm7
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times

    G        G       C
And make her wanna stay.

It's been too long since I've seen her face light up when I  come home;

Dm         G6 G/B   Dm        G6    G/B C      Fdim     C
It's been too many hours I've wast - ed staring at the phone.

F                     Dm7               Esus4             Em
Sweet old songs, I'm counting on you to bring her back to me;

     F        Em7        G7
I'm tired of listening alone.
