Intro: Bm   A   G   D   G   A   D 
  
D                  A                   D 
 When the night returns just like a friend, 
G                   A                D 
 when the evening comes to set me free. 
G                 A                Bm    A   G   D 
 When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day make, 
G           Em         A 
 peaceful sounds in me. 
  
D                     A        D 
 Took a drag from my last cigarette, 
G                     A               D 
 took a drink from a glass of old wine. 
G             A               Bm   A   G   D 
 I closed my eyes and I could make it real and 
G        Em        A 
 feel it one more time. 
  

         Bm                     A 
 Can you hear it, babe? Can you hear it, babe? 
       G                  D                      A 
 From another time, from another place, do you remember it, babe? 


D                                     Em 
 And the radio played like a carnival tune, 
                  G                 D 
 as we lay in our bed in the other room. 
                                           G 
 When we gave it away for the sake of a dream, 
              Em   A                    D    F 
 In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean. 
G                    D 
 If you know what I mean. 

  
D                   A                D 
 And here to the songs we used to sing, 
G                   A                D 
 and here to the times we used to know. 
G              A               Bm   A G    D 
 It hard to hold them in our arms again, but 
G        Em       A 
 hard to let them go. 
   

         Bm                     A 
 Can you hear it, babe? Can you hear it, babe? 
       G                  D                      A 
 From another time, from another place, do you remember it, babe? 

D                                     Em 
 And the radio played like a carnival tune, 
                  G                 D 
 as we lay in our bed in the other room. 
                                           G 
 When we gave it away for the sake of a dream, 
              Em   A                    D    Em  A 
 In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean. 
                     D     Em  A 
 If you know what I mean, 
                     D     Em  A 
 if you know what I mean, 
                     D     F  G  D 
 if you know what I mean. 

 If you know what I mean, babe, if you know what I mean.
