The Way We Were

C7M     Em7           F7M      Am9   Am  F7M
Mem'ries      light the corners of my mind
  Em7           E7  Am     Am7+     F7M
Misty water-colored mem'ries
    E4/7    E7  C7M Am7 Dm7 G7
of the way   we were
 C7M     Em7      F7M          Am9    Am     F7M
Scattered pictures     of the smiles we left behind
      Em7    E7   Am  Am7+  F7M         E4/7    E7 C7M  C7
Smiles we gave to one another      for the way   we were

F7M               Em7     Dm7
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Em        Em7         A4/7      A7
Or has time rewritten every line
Dm          Dm7+    Dm7
If we had the chance to do it all again
Em7      C7M      F      G7
Tell me, would we, could we
 C7M    Em7     F7M        Am9    Am F7M
Mem'ries   may be beautiful and yet
       Em7    E7     Am  Am7+ F7M
What's too painful to remember
    E4/7     E7   Am7    Am7/G F7M
We simply choose to forget
          Em7    F7M          Em7    F7M
So it's the laughter     we will remember
       Em7  Am7 Dm7
Whenever we remember
 Dm7/G    C7M  F7M F
The way we were
  Fm    C   F7M C7M
The way we were
