Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][B][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
Lonely table just for [Am]one
[B]In a bright and cro[Em]wded room
While the music has be[Am]gun[B]
I drink to memories in [Em]the gloom
Though the music's still the [Am]same
[B]It has a bittersweet refra[E]in

[Chorus 1]
So [E]play the song the way it used to [B]be
Before she left and changed it all to [E]sadness
And [A]maybe if she's passing by the [E]window
She will hear a [B]love song
And a melo[E]dy
And [A]even if the words are not so [E]tender
She will always re[B]member
The way it used to [Em]be[C][Fm]

[Verse 2]
Friends stop by and say hel- [Bbm]lo
[C]And I laugh and hide the pai[Fm]n
It's quite easy 'til they [Bbm]go
[C]Then the song begins agai[F]n

[Chorus 2]
So [F]play the song the way it used to [C]be
Before she left and changed it all to [F]sadness
And [Bb]maybe if she's passing by the [F]window
She will hear a [C]love song
And a melo[F]dy
And [Bb]even if the words are not so [F]tender
She will always re[C]member
The way it used to [F]be[Gm][C][F]
