Memories
                        F#m7/9  F#m/E   D7+
Light the corners of my mind,
      C#7/4 C#7   F#m       F#m/E   D7+
Misty water color memories,
       E7/4 E7   A7+   F#m7   Bm7   E7
Of the way    we were
          A7+   C#m7   D7+
Scattered pic...tures
                        F#m7/9   F#m/E   D7+
Of the smiles we left behind,
          C#7/4   C#7  F#m     F#m/E   D7+
Smiles we gave to one another,
        E7/4 E7   A7+   A7/9   A7
For the way    we were
D7+                         C#m7   Bm7
Can't it be that it was all so     simple then,
C#m7                        F#7/4   F#7
Or has time rewritten every line?
Bm7           Bm7/A           D/E
If we had the chance to do it all again
E7      A7+       F#m/E      E7
Tell me would we? Could we?
A7+ C#m7   D7+
Memories
                      F#m7/9  F#m/E   D7+
May be beautiful, and yet,
           C#7/4   C#7  F#m      F#m/E   D7+
What's too painful to remember,
          C#7/4    C#7   F#m    F#m/E   D7+
We simply choose to   forget.
            C#m7       D7+
So it's the laughter,
          C#m7    D7+
We will remember,
              C#m7  F#m7   Bm7
Whenever we remem...ber
    D/E    A7+   D7+   E7(9/4)
The way we were
           A7+   D7+   A7+
The way we were
