The Way It Was Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I don't [A]kno[G]w h[C]ow,[D]
but the nights get lonely [F#m]now
[C#m]They keep appearing in my eyes[F#][Bm]
Such a warm and [E]tender glow
[G]For just one moment
[Asus4]I remember all[A]
[D]The love we had was never all that bad
[C#m]There were smiles and
there were [F#]tears[D]
[Bm]On that special st[E]arry night
[Asus4]With your arms around
me held on [A]tight
[G]Wasn't that the way [Bbdim]it was?[F#][Bm]
Two [Em]strangers reaching [A]for a
worth[Am]less [C]cause[D][Bm][D]
[G]Wasn't that the love we [A]sha[Bm]red?
Ah, [Em]just the restless years,
[Asus4]when no one cares[D][A][G][C][D]
I don't know why, it's hard to say good[C#m]bye,
or even justify [F#]the [D]end[Bm]
You meant [E]so very much to me
[G]An d to let you go, [Asus4]start my life aga[A]in
[D]The love we shared was
never all that bad
[C#m]There were smiles and there [F#]were tears
[Bm]To that special summ[E]er's day
[Asus4]When I reached out for you
And just walked [A]away[G]
Falling [Bbdim]down the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you [Bm]are
[Em]Two strangers reaching for[A]
A worth[Am]less [C]heart
[D][G][Em][A][Bm]
Oh, just [Em]the restless years
[Asus4]Restless [D]years[G][C][D][A]
[D][A][G][C][C][D]
You
