A C#m7 Dmaj7 F#m F#m/E
Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind,
Dmaj7 C#m7 C#7 F#m F#m/E
Misty water-colored mem' ries
Dmaj7 E7sus E7 Amaj7 F#m7 Bm7 D/E
of the way we were. Scattered
A C#m7 Dmaj7 F#m F#m/E
Pictures, of the smiles we left behind,
Dmaj7 C#m C#7 F#m F#m/E Dmaj7 E7sus E7 Amaj7 A7
Smiles we gave to one an oth er, for the way we were.
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
C#m7 C#m7 F#7sus F#7
Or has time rewritten every line
Bm7 Bm7/A E7sus
If we had the chance to do it all again,
E7 Amaj7 D/E E7
Tell me, would we, could we
A C#m7 Dmaj7 F#m F#m/E
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
Dmaj7 C#m7 C#7 F#m F#m/E
What's too painful to re- mem-ber,
Dmaj7 C#7sus C#7 F#m7 F#m7/E
We simply choose to for - get.
Dmaj7 C#m7 Dmaj7 C#m7
So it's the laugh ter, we will remember
Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 Bmn7
Whenever we re-mem - ber
Bm7/E Amaj7 Dmaj7
The way we were,
D/E Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
The way we were.
