The Way It Was

	  		
Intro: D A D9 D 

       D                   Dmaj7       C#m 
I don't know how,    but nights get lonely now  
   Dmaj7         D                     E7                    G 
They keep appearing in my eyes,   such a warm and tender glow  
       A                                      D 
For just one moment,  I remember all  

           Dmaj7                C#m 
The love we had, was never all that bad  
        Dmaj7                D 
There were smiles and there were tears  
     E7                   G 
On that special starry night  
      A                                 D 
With your arms around me,   held on tight  

  G     F#      Bm  G                D                  A 
Wasn't that the way, it was,  two strangers reaching for  
  D      D7        G          F#              Bm 
A worthless cause? Wasn't that the love,   we shared  
E     E7                            A                   D 
Or just the restless years, when no-one, cared

I don't know why,   it's hard to say goodbye  
  Dmaj7  D                 E7                      G 
Or even justify the end,  you meant so very much to me  
A                                     D 
Then to let you go,   start my life again  

 D                      Dmaj7         C#m 
The love we had,    was never all that bad

   E7                                                G 
Till that special summer day, when I reached out for you  
   A      G 
You just walked away
