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.
