The Way It Used To Be
Engelbert Humperdinck
 
[Intro]
Cm D7 Gm
 
 
[Verse]
N/C                   Cm  D7
Lonely table just for one
                        Gm
in a bright and crowded room
                    Cm   D7
while the music has begun
                           Gm
I drink to memories in the gloom
                           Cm   D7
though the music still the same
                        G
it has a bitter sweet refrain
 
   G                                Am  D7
so play the song the way it used to be
  Am                D7                G      G7
before she left and changed it all to sadness
    C              D7             G
and maybe if she's passing by the window
          Em       Am             D7    G   G7
she would hear our love song, and the melody
    C           D7               G
and even if the words are not so tender
          Em      Am
she will always remember
    D7             Gm G#m
the way it used to be.
 
N/C                      C#m   D#7
friends stop by and said hello
                          G#m
then I laugh and hide the pain
                          C#m D#7
it's quite easy till they go
                      G#
then the song begins again.
 
   G#                               Bbm D#7
so play the song the way it used to be
  Bbm               D#7               G#     G#7
before she left and changed it all to sadness
    C#             D#7            G#
and maybe if she's passing by the window
          Fm       Bbm            D#7   G#  G#7
she would hear our love song, and the melody
 
 
    C#          D#7              G#
and even if the words are not so tender
          Fm     Bbm
she will always remember
    D#7            G# C# C#m G#
the way it used to be.
