The Way We Were

  BM7                 Bbm7    G#m7
   Can it be that it was all so simple then?
  Bbm            Bbm7          Ebsus   Eb7
   Or has time rewritten every line?
  G#m             G#m+M7     G#m7
   If we had the chance to do it all again, 
  Bbm7      F#M7      B      C#7
   Tell me, would we, could we?

  F#M7 Bbm7  BM7                    Ebm   BM7
   Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind
  Bbm7  Bb7     Ebm      Ebm+M7  BM7
   Misty water-colored mem'ries
        [ch]C#7sus[/ch]-C#7  F#M7-G#m7-C#7
   Of the way we were

  F#M7   Bbm7        BM7                     Ebm   BM7
   Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
  Bbm7  Bb7     Ebm      Ebm+M7  BM7
   Smiles we gave to one another      
        [ch]C#7sus[/ch]-C#7  F#M7  C#m7-F#7
   For the way we were

  BM7                     Bbm7    G#m7
   Woh can it be that it was all so simple then?
  Bbm            Bbm7          [ch]Ebsus[/ch]   Eb7
   Or has time rewritten every line?
  G#m                 G#m+M7     G#m7
   And if we had the chance to do it all again, 
  Bbm7               C       D7
   Tell me, would we, could we?

  GM7-BM7-CM7              Em     Em+M7  CM7
   Alaala  nang tayo'y mag-sweetheart pa
  BM7  B7     Em      Em+M7  CM7
   Namamasyal pa sa luneta 
        B7sus-B7  Em-Em+M7-CM7 pause
   Nang walang pera

                BM7   CM7         BM7   CM7
   So it's the laughter, we will remember
               BM7-Em7-Am7
   Whenever we remember
       D7      GM7  D7     G   D7
   The way we were,  remember
               G   CM7-GM7
   The way we were
