Title: The Way It Used to Be Artist: Pet Shop Boys Composers: Nick Coler; Miranda Cooper; Brian Higgins; Chris Lowe; Neil Tennant Album: Yes Year: 2009 [Intro] F#m Bm E F#sus4 F#m [Verse 1]
F#m
I'm here

       Bm
You're there

       E
Come closer

   F#sus4   F#m
Tonight I'm lonely

F#m
Come here

     Bm
With me

   E
I want it

           F#sus4  F#m
The way it used to be
[Chorus]
F#m
What is left of love?

        Bm
Tell me who would even care?

E
So much time has passed

          F#sus4     F#m
I'd still meet you anywhere

F#m
Water under bridge

Bm
Evening after day

E
What is left of love here

     F#sus4       F#m
That didn't drift away?
[Verse 2]
F#m                    Bm
I can remember days of sun

                             E
We knew our lives had just begun

E
We could do anything

      F#sus4             F#m
We're fearless when we're young

F#m                        Bm
Under the moon, address unknown

                         E
I can remember nights in Rome

E
I thought that love would last

   F#sus4        F#m
A promise set in stone
[Interlude]
Bm     E              A        F#m              
I'd survive with only memories

Bm         E                A  F#m
If I could change the way I feel

Bm         E              A    F#m
But I want more than only memories

Bm       E                 A
A human touch to make them real
[Verse 3]
F#m                   Bm
Another day, another dream

                          E
Over the bridge an empty scene

                              F#sus4
We'd spend the weekend lost in bed

           F#m
And float upstream

F#m                       Bm
I don't know why we moved away

                             E
Lost in the here and now we strayed

E
Into a New York zone

     F#sus4        F#m
Our promise was betrayed
[Bridge]
F#m                           Bm
I was there caught on Tenth Avenue

                                E
You elsewhere with Culver City blues

                              F#sus4  F#m
Then and there I knew that I'd lost you
[Instrumental] F#m Bm E F#sus4 F#m F#m Bm E F#sus4 F#m [Chorus]
F#m
What is left of love?

        Bm
Tell me who will even care?

E
So much time has passed

          F#sus4     F#m
I'd still meet you anywhere

F#m
Water under bridge

Bm
Evening after day

E
What is left of love here

     F#sus4       F#m
That didn't drift away?
[Pre-coda]
F#m
Don't give me all your northern pain

Bm
Don't sell me New York in the rain

E
Let's leave our promises behind

           F#sus4   F#m
Rewind and try again
[Coda]
F#m
What remains in time

Bm
That didn't fade away?

E
Sometimes I need to see

          F#sus4  F#m
The way it used to be
