Chords by: Juhndemar H. Sambu

Verse 1:
 Gm                   Cm
Lonely table just for one
 D                       Gm
in a bright and crowded room
                     Cm
while the music has begun
D
i drink to the memories
        Gm
in the gloom

though the music still
     Cm
the same
D
it has a bitter sweet
  G
refrain

Chorus:
    G
so play the song
                   D
the way it used to be
 D7
before she left and 
                   G  G7
changed it all to sadness
     C
and maybe if she's
                G
passing by the window

she would hear our
 D             G  G7
love song, and melody
     C
and even if the words 
             G
are not so tender
               D
i will always remember
                   G--Gm
the way it used to be

Verse 2:

friends stop by and said
 Cm  D  
hello, then i laughed 
              Gm
and hide the pain
                          Cm
it's quite easy till they go
D                     G
then the song begins again
