Memories
F#m7/9 F#m/E D7+
Light the corners of my mind,
C#7/4 C#7 F#m F#m/E D7+
Misty water color memories,
E7/4 E7 A7+ F#m7 Bm7 E7
Of the way we were
A7+ C#m7 D7+
Scattered pic...tures
F#m7/9 F#m/E D7+
Of the smiles we left behind,
C#7/4 C#7 F#m F#m/E D7+
Smiles we gave to one another,
E7/4 E7 A7+ A7/9 A7
For the way we were
D7+ C#m7 Bm7
Can't it be that it was all so simple then,
C#m7 F#7/4 F#7
Or has time rewritten every line?
Bm7 Bm7/A D/E
If we had the chance to do it all again
E7 A7+ F#m/E E7
Tell me would we? Could we?
A7+ C#m7 D7+
Memories

May be beautiful, and yet,
C#7/4 C#7 F#m F#m/E D7+
What's too painful to remember,
C#7/4 C#7 F#m F#m/E D7+
We simply choose to forget.
C#m7 D7+
So it's the laughter,
C#m7 D7+
We will remember,
C#m7 F#m7 Bm7
Whenever we remem...ber

The way we were
