Lyrics
When we played our cha rade
we were like chil dren (E7)pos ing,
(Bm7)play ing at (E7)games,
(Bm7)act ing out (E7)names,
(Bm7)guess ing the (E)parts (E7)we (Am)played.
Oh, what a (F)hit we (Am6)made,
(Am)we came on next to (Bm7)clos ing.
(Bm7)Best on the (E7)bill,
(Bm7)lov ers un (E7)til
(Bm7)love left the (E)mas (E7)que (Am)rade.
(Dm7)Fate
seemed to (Cmaj7)pull the (Am)strings.
I turned
(G7)and you were (C)gone,
(Dm7)while
from the (Cmaj7)dark ened (Am)wings the (D9)mu sic box played (Bm7)on.
(Am)Sad lit tle ser e nade,
song of my heart’s com (E7)pos ing.
(Bm7)I hear it (E7)still,
(Bm7)I al ways (E7)will,
(B)best on the (E7#5)bill
(E7)cha (Am)rade.
