[C] [Em] [F] [Am] [F]
Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind,
[Em] [E7] [Am] [F]
Misty water-colored mem'ries
[E7] [C] [Am] [Dm7] [G7]
of the way we were.
[C] [Em] [F] [Am] [F]
Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind,
[Em] [E7] [Am] [F] [E7] [C] [C7]
Smiles we gave to one another, for the way we were.
[F] [Em] [Dm7]
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
[Em] [Em7] [A7]
Or has time rewritten every line?
[Dm] [Dm7] [Em]
If we had the chance to do it all again,
[Cmaj7] [F] [G7]
Tell me, would we, could we?
[C] [Em] [F] [Am] [F]
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
[Em] [E7] [Am] [F]
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,
[E7] [Am] [F]
We simply choose to forget.
[Em] [F] [Em] [F]
So it's the laugh ter, we will remember
[Em] [Am] [Dm7]
Whenever we re-mem-ber
[C] [F]
The way we were,
[Fm] [C] [F] [Cmaj7]
The way we were.
