But things And we would sing (Em)right out loud ly, if (F#7sus)the things we (F#7)could not (B)say.

There’s thought we could change this world (F#7)with words like “love” and (B)“free dom.”

And We were part of the (Em)lone ly crowd (F#7sus)in side the (F#7)Sad Ca (B)fé.

(G#m)Oh,

Some of their (Em)dreams came true,

some just passed a (B)way.

And some of them (C#)stayed be hind (F#7sus)in side the (F#7)Sad Ca (B)fé.
