[Intro]
A    Dm    E      A
A    Dm    E  E7  A
A    Dm    E      A
A    Dm7   E  E7  A


[Verse 1]
A            Dm           E     
  Out in the shiny night, the 
              A
rain was softly falling
A                      Dm        
  Tracks that ran down the 
    E            E7      A
boulevard had all been washed away
A            Dm            E    
  Out of the silver light, the 
                A
past came softly calling
A                    Dm          
  And I remember the times we 
   E          E7     A
spent inside the Sad Café


[Verse 2]
A                      Dm         
  Oh, it seemed like a holy place,
 E             A
 protected by amazing grace
A                   Dm           
  And we would sing right out 
   E             E7        A
loud, the things we could not say
Continues after the ad
A                     Dm         
  We thought we could change this
       E                         
 world with words like "love" and 
  A
"freedom"
A                     Bm7b5       
  We were part of the lonely crowd
 E          E7     A
 inside the Sad Café


[Chorus]
F#m              C#m7
Oh, expecting to fly
         F#m                   
We would meet on that beautiful 
                           Bm   E
shore in the sweet by and by


[Verse 3]
A               Dm                
  Some of their dreams came true, 
E                 A
some just passed away
A                  Bm7b5          
  And some of them stayed behind, 
E          E7     A
inside the Sad Café


[Acoustic Solo]
A     Dm     E      A
A     Bm7b5  E  E7  A


[Bridge]
    Esus4         E      Esus4    
The clouds rolled in and hid that 
E
shore
Esus4    E               Esus4  
Now that Glory Train, it don't 
            E
stop here no more
Dsus4                  D         
     Now I look at the years gone
        Dsus4                     D
 by and wonder at the powers that be
Esus4                         E  
     I don't know why fortune 
            Esus4                  
smiles on some    and lets the rest
 E
 go free


[Verse 4]
      A             Dm             
Mmmmmmm   Maybe the time has drawn 
E             A
the faces I recall
A                            Dm  
  But things in this life change 
               E     E7            
very slowly if they ever change at 
A
all
A           Dm          E       
  No use in asking why,   it 
                  A
just turned out that way
A               Bm7b5         E 
  So meet me at midnight baby 
         E7     A
inside the Sad Café
A                          Bm7b5 
  Why don't you meet me at 
          E          E7     A
midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
