Beginning Chords C/F-F-C/D-Dm-F/G-Gm-Bb/C-C-Bb/C-C
F9 Bb9 Bb Bb9 Bb-F/A
Candles burning glasses are chilled and soon she’ll be by
Gm D6/G Gm7 Bb/C C/F F Eb/F
Hope and pray she’ll say that she’s willing to give us another try and I
Bb9 C/Bb Am Dm Bb F/A Gm Bb/C
If all those plans I’ve made don’t melt the lady’s heart I’ll put on the old 45’s
Chorus
Bb/C C/F C/D Dm
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
Dm D6/G Gm Gm9 D6/G Eb C
Maybe the old lines will sound new maybe she’ll lay her head on my shoulder

Maybe old feelings will come through maybe we’ll start to cry and
C/Bb Am A7 Dm
Wonder why we ever walked away

Make her want to stay

It’s been too long since I’ve been her face light up

Bring her back to me I’m tired of listening alone
