Intro: EmAmB7EmB7EmAm
Lonely table just for one,
B7Em
In a bright and crowded room.
Am
While the music has begun,
B7Em
I drink to memories in the gloom
EmEm
Though the music's still the same,
B7E
It has a bittersweet refrain.
B7
So play the song the way it used to be,
E
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
AE
And maybe, if she's passing by the window
B7E
She will hear a love song, and a melody
AE
And even if the words are not so tender
B7Em
She will always remember,the way it used to be.
EmAm
Friends stop by and say hello,
B7Em
And I laugh and hide the pain
Am
It's quite easy 'til they go,
B7E
Then the song begins again
B7
So play the song the way it used to be,
E
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
AE
And maybe, if she's passing by the window
B7E
She will hear a love song, and a melody
AE
And even if the words are not so tender
B7Em
She will always remember,the way it used to be.
