Candles burning, glasses are chilled and soon she'll be by;
Dm G6 G/B Dm G6 G/B
Hope and pray she'll say that she's willing
C Fdim C
To give us another try
F Dm7 Esus4 Em
And if all those plans I made don't melt the lady's heart,
F Em7 G7
I'll put on the old 45's,
Fdim C9 C G C9 Am
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times,
G Am7 Dm7 D7/9 Am7 F
Maybe the old lines will sound new;
G D7/9 Dm7 G Gdim Dm7
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoul - der
G C9 C G C Cm7 C7
Maybe old feelings will come through
F Dm7 Fdim Bm7/5- E7 Bm7/5- Fdim Am
Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked a - way--
G C9 C Am F Dm7
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
G G C
And make her wanna stay.
C G/B Am7 Cm7 G/B Am7 Dm Edim Gdim Dm7
It's been too long since I've seen her face light up when I come home;
Dm G6 G/B Dm G6 G/B C Fdim C
It's been too many hours I've wast - ed staring at the phone.
F Dm7 Esus4 Em
Sweet old songs, I'm counting on you to bring her back to me;
F Em7 G7
I'm tired of listening alone.
Fdim C9 C G C9 Am
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times,
G Am7 Dm7 D7/9 Am7 F
Maybe the old lines will sound new;
G D7/9 Dm7 G Gdim Dm7
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoul - der
G C9 C G C Cm7 C7
Maybe old feelings will come through
F Dm7 Fdim Bm7/5- E7 Bm7/5- Fdim Am
Maybe we'll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked a - way--
G C9 C Am F Dm7
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
G G C
And make her wanna stay.
