Intro: C7M  Gm7(b5)  C7/9+  Fm7

Well you ladies out there
you know what I'm
I'm talkin' 'bout ya
but you wanna know something?
did you ever try to remember or
or just place up a memory in your mind
and it always seems so far away
so hard to find

Ab7M      C#/Ab
Memories light the corners of my mind
      C7          Fm7     Eb7 C#7M
misty water-color memories
       Eb7    Ab7M  C#/Ab
of the way we were
            Ab7M   C#/Ab
Scattered pictures
                 Fm7    Fm/Eb C#7M
of the smiles we left behind
          C7          Fm7     Eb7
smiles we gave to one another
C#7M                   Eb7    Ab7M Ab7

Tell me, tell me, tell me,
C#7M
Or if we live although
Cm7 Bbm7
So simple When
   Cm7                          F7
Or how strong and writen every lie
Bbm7   Bbm7M             Bbm7
If you have the chance to live your lives again

Memories may be beautiful
Fm7    Fm/Eb  C#7M
Again, again

What?s too painful to remember
           C7        Fm7  Eb7 C#7
We simply choose to forget
                  Cm7
Although it's so  nice so
C#7M            Cm7
We choose so to remember
C#7M   Bbm7  Eb7

The way we were

the way we were
