Intro: Gm Cm D7 Gm
Cm D7 Gm
Lonely table just for one, In a bright and crowded room
Cm D7 Gm
While the music has begun, I drink to memories in the gloom
Cm D7 G
Though the music's still the same, It has a bittersweet refrain
D7
So play the song the way it used to be
G
Before she left and changed it all to sadness
C G
And maybe, if she's passing by the window
Em D D7 G
She will hear a love song, and a melody
C G
And even if the words are not so tender
Em D D7 Gm Eb7 G#m
She will always remember, the way it used to be
C#m Eb7 G#m
Friends stop by and say hello, and I laugh and hide the pain
C#m Eb7 G#
It's quite easy 'til they go, Then the song begins again
