Verse 2 (band enters):

Every evening I would watch the sunset

End another day

Let the nighttime wash my blues away

Buried my romantic inclination

Deep inside of me

'Til I fell for you immoderately

[repeat chorus]

Eb Bb/D Ab/Gb Db/Cb

I remember all the good times

Eb/Bb Bb/Ab CaddD/G

And the bad times spent together

Eb Bb/D Ab/Gb Db/Cb

Why remember all the old times

Eb/Bb Bb/Ab CaddD/G

When the new times look much better

Am11 D

Much better
