[Intro] Eb Gm7/D Ab/Eb Db9 [Verse]
Eb                       Gm7/D
  I don't know how, but nights get lonely now

Dm7                      G7
     They keep appearing in my eyes

Eb/Bb                 F7sus2/A
     Such a warm and tender glow

Ab/Bb
    For just one moment

Bb
  I remember all
[Verse 2]
Eb                     Gm7/D
  The love we had was never all that bad

Dm7                        G7
    There were smiles and there were tears

Eb/Bb                  F7sus2/A               Ab/Bb
    On that special starry night, with your arms around me

Bb
Held on tight
[Chorus]
Ab                    Fdim7
  Wasn't that the way

   Cm7
It was?

              Fm7
Two strangers reaching for

Bb             Eb7
  A worthless cause

Ab                    Bb/Ab Cm7
  Wasn't that the love we shared?

             Fm7           Ab/Bb
Or just the restless years

             Eb
When no-one cared
[Break] Gm7/D Ab/Eb Db9 [Verse 2]
Eb                        Gm7/D
  I don't know why, it's hard to say goodbye

Dm7              G7
    Or even justify the end

Eb/Bb                    F7sus2/A
    You meant so very much to me

        Ab/Bb                   Bb
Then to let you go, start my life again

Eb                     Gm7/D
  The love we had was never all that bad

Dm7                        G7
    There were smiles and there were tears

Eb/Bb                    F7sus2/A
    Till that special summer day

        Ab/Bb                     Bb
When I reached out for you, you just walked away
[Chorus]
Ab                    Fdim7
  Wasn't that the way

   Cm7
It was?

              Fm7
Two strangers reaching for

Bb             Eb7
  A worthless cause

Ab                    Bb/Ab Cm7
  Wasn't that the love we shared?

             Fm7           Ab/Bb
Or just the restless years

             Eb Gm7/D Ab/Eb Db9
When no-one cared
[Outro] Eb Gm7/D Ab/Eb Db9
Db9  Eb
Ahhh
