Verse 1:
Ab
All the world is a room and the room is painted blue
Ab                        Db   Bbm
You look at me, I look at you
Bbm                         Eb
We need our song to pull us through
        Db        Ab                              Db
But the melody is changing and the words all slip away
Db                     Ab
And we cannot sing our good old song
        Eb                    Ab     Db  Ab
Like we could in the good old days

Verse 2:
Ab
This leavin' you sure ain't easy
Ab                              Db    Bbm
I think of the summer nights we knew
Bbm                            Eb
I remember the way you used to please me
        Db            Ab                             Db
But the time has come upon us now to go our separate ways
Db                        Ab
'Cause we cannot sing our good old song
        Eb                    Ab
Like we could in the good old days

Bbm
Don't you wanna have your chance?
Bbm             Fm
Don't you wanna try a new romance?
Eb  Ab             Db                    Bbm
Oh, and I know you will when the time is right
             Eb                               Ab     Db  Ab  Db
And you will dance on the highest hill in the night

Ab
Tonight I want to hold you close
Ab                           Db        Bbm
I wanna feel you near me one more time
Bbm                                            Eb
It's too bad, it's sad, but that's it's how it goes
              Db                  Ab
And when your friends all come an ask you
                    Db
Why your lover went away
                                    Ab

Just say that we could not sing our good old song

Like we could in the good old days
       Db                 Ab
Oh, we could not sing our good old song
        Eb                    Ab
Like we could in the good old days
