  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#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?

   Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind

   Misty water colored mem'ries  
        C#7sus C#7  F#m7 G#m7 C#7  
   Of the way we were  

  F#m7   Bbm7        Bm7                     Ebm   Bm7

   For the way we were

   Woh can it be that it was all so simple then?  
  Bbm            Bbm7          Ebsus   Eb7  
   Or has time rewritten every line?

   And if we had the chance to do it all again,

   Nang walang pera
