              F      Bbm(11)/F *              F        * kbd: Bb - Db - Eb - F
      For a while   to love was all we could do
               F/A      1: Bb  2: F/C#
      We were young and we knew
               Dm9          Bb
      That our eyes   were alive
            Eb7M            Gm7/C         C7
      Deep inside we knew our love was true


              F   Bbm4/F                 F
      For a while we paid no mind to the past
      / G / G# F/A          1: Bb  2: F/C#
          We knew love would last
             Dm9               Bb
      Every night   somethin' right
              Gm7/C        C7
      Would invite us to begin the dance

Pre-chorus:
       Bb                 F/A      Dm7
      Somethin' happened along the way
            Gm7                  F   C#m7/F#
      What used to be happy was sad


      E7M               D#m7    G#m7
      Somethin' happened along the way
          C#m7                B7M
      And yesterday was all we had
          Cm7   Fm7                Bbm7
      And oh    after the love has gone
      Bbm7/Eb       Eb7    Abm7
      How could you lead me on
        Abm7/Db       Db7  Gb7M
      And not let me stay around
      Abm7 Bbm7 Cm7    Fm7                Bbm7
       Oh   oh   oh    after the love has gone
          Bbm7/Eb      Eb7     Abm7
      What used to be right is wrong
         Abm7/Db      Db7    Gb7M
      Can love that's lost be found
      1: Gb7M Dbm7/Gb Gm7/C  C7(b9)
            /      /      /      /

         (found)

           Oh   oh   oh      to coda

Verse 2:

      For a while   to love each other was all

      We would ever need

      Love was strong   for so long

      Never knew that what was wrong, oh baby

      Wasn't right    we tried to find what we had

      'Til sadness was all

      We shared (we were scared)

      This affair would lead our love in two


       Bb                 F/A      Dm7
      Somethin' happened along the way
      Gm7                   F   B7(b5)
      Yesterday was all we had
