I guess you had to be there, she said, you had to be 
                Gb5   Db5         Eb5                 Ab5 Ab5 Ab5 
She handed me a yellowed photograph and then said, see 
 
This was my greatest love, 
   F5           Gb5            Ab5 Gb5 
My one and only love and this is  me 
Gb5               Bb5       Ab5 Ab5   Db5 
Back when we were beautiful beautiful, see 
Db5                Gb5   Db5        Eb5               Db5 Db5  Db5 
I don't feel very different, she said, I know it's strange 
Db5                  Gb5   Db5       Eb5               Ab5 Ab5  Ab5 
I guess I've gotten used to these little aches and pains 
 
But I still love to dance, 
    F5              Gb5              Ab5 Gb5 
You know we used to dance the night away 
Gb5               Bb5        Ab5  Ab5  Db5 
Back when we were beautiful  beautiful  yeah 
  F5                Ab5                Db5 
I hate it when they say I'm aging gracefully 
                 Ab5                      Db5 
I fight it every day, I guess they never see 
                     Bb5                      Faug   Bb5 Ab5 Ab5 
I don't like this at all, what's happening to me 
Ab5 Db5 
To me 
                     Gb5   Db5       Eb5                     Db5 Db5 Db5 
But I really love my grandkids, she said, they're sweet to hold 
                               Gb5   Db5        Eb5            Ab5  Ab5 Ab5 
They would've have loved their grandpa, those awful jokes he told 
                                    F5              Gb5         Ab5 Gb5 
You know, sometimes for a laugh the two of us would act like we were old 
Gb5               Bb5       Ab5  Ab5   Db5 
Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yeah 
Db5                     Ab5  Db5 
But I guess you had to be there
