Way We Were, The

C        Em            F        Am          F
Mem'ries      light the corners of my mind,
    Em                E   Am        +7     F
Misty water-colored mem'ries
      E          C         Am     Dm      G
of the way   we were.
  C        Em       F           Am             F
Scattered pictures     of the smiles we left behind,
           Em      E   Am    +7 F         E         C
Smiles we gave to one another      for the way   we were.
 
[Bridge]
F                     Em     Dm
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Em                         A
Or has time rewritten every line?
Dm               +7
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Em       C          F         G
Tell me, would we, could we?
 

  C      Em       F            Am             F
Mem'ries   may be beautiful and yet
            Em     E     Am    +7    F
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,
        E              Am               F
We simply choose to forget.
             Em      F             Em    F
So it's the laughter     we will remember
               Em  Am   Dm
Whenever we re-mem-ber
 
   Dm       C      F
The way we were,
    Fm      C     F      C
The way we were.
