The What It Was

Tom: E

Introdução:

 E                                         C#m                 G#m       A  B 
  I drove through the desert last night
 E                           C#m                             G#m     A  B 
  I carried the weight of our last fight
 E                                                       C#m                       G#m 
Elvis singing 'don’t be cruel’ and I wonder if you feel it too.
           A                 B 
It’s like we’re going under
 C#m                                             F#m                                                 G#m 
        Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line
                                           A                                     B 
The question of my heart came to my mind
 A                       E 
If I go on with you by my side
             C#m           B                              A 
Can it be the way it was when we met?
                     E                                         B 
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
 E             C#m                                 G#m       A  B 
  Maybe a thief stole your heart
 E                       B                       C#m 
  or maybe we just drifted apart
 A                   B           E                       C#m 
I remember driving in my daddy’s car to the airfield
 G#m                                   A                                 B 
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
 C#m                                             F#m                                                                   G#m 
      Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
                                   A                                 B 
That paradise is buried in the dust
 A                       E 
If I go on with you by my side
               C#m           B                              A 
Can it be the way it was when we met?
                     E                                         B 
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was.)
 F#m                                                     C#m           G#m 
All of our plans are falling through
 F#m                                                           B 
Sometimes a dream, it don’t come true

         A         E 
Darling darling
                                                               C#m           B                              A 
(If we go on can it be) Can it be the way it was when we met?
                     E                                         B 
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
                 A               E 
If I go on with you by my side
               C#m           B 
Can it be the way it was
                             A                               E 
My heart is true, girl, it's just you
                           B                                                     E 
I'm thinking of, Can it be the way it was?

 E                 C#m                           G#m   A   B 
  (Maybe a thief stole your heart)
