Bm7b5 7x776x [Intro] A Dm E A A Dm E E7 A A Dm E A A Dm7 E E7 A [Verse 1]
A            Dm           E                   A
  Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling

A                      Dm            E            E7      A
  Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away

A            Dm            E                    A
  Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling

A                    Dm             E          E7     A
  And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
A                      Dm          E             A
  Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace

A                   Dm              E             E7        A
  And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say

A                     Dm                E                           A
  We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"

A                     Bm7b5        E          E7     A
  We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
F#m              C#m7
Oh, expecting to fly

         F#m                                              Bm   E
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
A               Dm                E                 A
  Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away

A                  Bm7b5          E          E7     A
  And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café
[Acoustic Solo] A Dm E A A Bm7b5 E E7 A [Bridge]
    Esus4         E      Esus4    E
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore

Esus4    E               Esus4              E
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more

Dsus4                  D                 Dsus4                     D
     Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be

Esus4                         E              Esus4                   E
     I don't know why fortune smiles on some    and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
      A             Dm             E             A
Mmmmmmm   Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall

A                            Dm                 E     E7            A
  But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all

A           Dm          E                         A
  No use in asking why,   it just turned out that way

A               Bm7b5         E          E7     A
  So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café

A                          Bm7b5           E          E7     A
  Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
[Outro]
