The Way We Were

Cmaj7      Em7           Fmaj7      Am9   Am   Fmaj7 
Mem'ries      light the corners of my mind 
    Em7               E7  Am      Am7+ Fmaj7   
Misty water-colored mem'ries         
      E4/7     E7  Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7 
of the way   we were 
  Cmaj7      Em7      Fmaj7         Am9      Am    Fmaj7 
Scattered pictures     of the smiles we left behind 
           Em7     E7  Am  Am7+  Fmaj7       E4/7     E7 Cmaj7 C7 
Smiles we gave to one another      for the way   we were 

Bridge 

Fmaj7                   Em7    Dm7 
Can it be that it was all so simple then 
Em            Em7          A7sus4     A7 
Or has time rewritten every line 
Dm             Dm7+     Dm7 
If we had the chance to do it all again 
Em7      Cmaj7        F         G7 
Tell me, would we, could we 
  Cmaj7    Em7      Fmaj7          Am9    Am Fmaj7 
Mem'ries   may be beautiful and yet 
            Em7    E7    Am  Am7+ Fmaj7       
What's too painful to remember 
        E4/7       E7    Am7    Am7/G Fmaj7 
We simply choose to forget 
             Em7     Fmaj7           Em7   Fmaj7 
So it's the laughter     we will remember 
               Em7 Am7  Dm7 
Whenever we remember  
   Dm7/G    Cmaj7    Fmaj7 F 
The way we were 
    Fm      C     Fmaj7  Cmaj7 
The way we were
