When the night re (A)turns just like a (D)friend, when the eve ning (A7)comes to set me free, when the qui et (A7)hours that wait be (Bm)yond (Dmaj7)the (G)day (D)make peace ful (Em7)sounds in me. Took a drag from my (A)last cig a rette, took a drink from a (A7)glass of old (D)wine. I closed my (A7)eyes, and I could (Bm)make (Dmaj7)it (G)real (D)and feel it (Em7)one more time. Can you (Bm)hear it babe? Can you (A)hear it babe? It From an (Em)oth er time, it from an (D)oth er place, do (D)you re (A)mem ber it babe? And the ra di o played like a car ni val (Em7)tune as we lay in our bed in the oth er (D)room, when we gave it a way for the sake of a (G)dream in a pen ny ar (G)cade, if you know what I (D)mean. Here’s to the (A)songs we used to (D)sing, and here’s to the (A7)times we used to know. It’s hard to (A7)hold them in our (Bm)arms (Dmaj7)a (G)gain (D)but hard to (Em7)let them go. Do you (D)mean. If you know what I (D)mean. If you know what I (D)mean. If you know what I (D)mean.
