If You Know what I mean

C C/B Am F G G7


[Verse]
C                   G7           
When the night returns just like 
       C
a friend
F                 G7             
When the evening comes to set me 
   C
free
F           G7
When the quiet hours that wait
Am     Em   F   C    F
Beyond the day make
         Dm7        G     G6  G7
Peaceful sounds in me


[Verse]
C                   G7            C
Took a drag from my last cigarette
F                   G7        
Took a drink from a glass of old 
     C
wine
F            G7
I closed my eyes and I could
Am   Em  F   C
Make it real and
F       Dm7          G7
Feel it one more time


[Pre-chorus]
Am
Can you hear it Babe?  (Riff 1)
G7
Can you hear it Babe?  (Riff 2)
      F                    C
From another time    From another 
place
        G               G7       G
Do you remember it Babe?

[Chorus]
C                           
  And the radio played like a 
           Dm7
carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other 
C
room
When we gave it away for the sake of
    F
 a dream

In a penny arcade
G                  
  If you know what I 
  C           Eb    Dm           
mean.................If you know 
         C
what I mean Babe...

[Verse]
C              G7               
Here's to the songs we used to 
C        C/G
sing
F                   G7           
and here's to the times we used 
   C       C/G
to know
F               G7
It's hard to hold them
        Am   Em F C    F
In our arms again but
F           Dm7    G7
Hard to let them go.


[Pre-chorus]
Am
Do you hear it Babe?  (Riff 1)
G7
Do you hear it Babe?  (Riff 2)
        F                    
It was another time    It was 
  C
another place
         G               G7       
Do you remember it Babe?
G  G7 G G7 G
