I guess you had to be there, she said, you had to be

D                  G     D           Em7         A  Asus  A
She handed me a yellowed photograph, and then said, see?

A
This was my greatest love,

F#m                G         G
my one and only love, and this is me

 F#7              Bm        A   D

[tab]D                  G   D           Em7            D  Dsus  D
I don't feel very different, she said, I know it's strange

D                   G   D           Em7              A  Asus  A
I guess I've gotten used to, these little aches and pains

A                    A/C#       F#m             G
But I still love to dance, you know we used to dance

G
The night away

F#m7                Bm         A         D
Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yes

A                  A              D
I hate it when they say, I'm aging gracefully

                 A                       D
I fight it every day, I guess they never see

D                   Bm                       F#
I don't like this at all, what's happening to me?

D                     G   D           Em7                   D  Dsus  D
But I really love my grand kids, she said, they're sweet to hold

D                           G    D          Em7               A  Asus A
They would have loved their grandpa, those awful jokes he told

A                         A/C#      F#m             G
You know sometimes for a laugh, the two of us would act

 G
Like we were old

 F#m7                Bm         A         Bm          A          D
Back when we were beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful yes

                        G     D
But I guess you had to be there
