The Way We Were

CM7 Em7 FM7 Am9 Am FM7

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind,

Em7 E7 Am Am+7 FM7

Misty water-colored mem'ries

E7sus4 E7 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G7

of the way we were.

CM7 Em7 FM7 Am9 Am FM7

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind,

Em7 E7 Am Am+7 FM7 E7sus4 E7 CM7 C7

Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

Em Em7 A7sus4 A7

Or has time rewritten every line?

Dm Dm+7 Dm7

If we had the chance to do it all again,

Em7 CM7 F G7

Tell me, would we, could we?

CM7 Em7 FM7 Am9 Am FM7

Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet

Em7 E7 Am Am+7 FM7

What's too painful to re-mem-ber,

E7sus4 E7 Am7 Am7/G FM7

We simply choose to forget.

Em7 FM7 Em7 FM7

So it's the laughter we will remember

Em7 Am7 Dm7

Whenever we re-mem-ber

Dm7/G CM7 FM7 F

The way we were,

Fm C FM7 CM7

The way we were.
