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 

Bridge 
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
