The Way We Were Chords

C    Em             F             Am    F
Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind,
      Em            E   Am  F
Misty water-colored mem'ries
       E      C     Am  Dm   G
of the way we were.
 
C         Em               F                Am    F
Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind,
          Em          E   Am           F      E   C
Smiles we gave to one another, for the way we were.
 
F                     Em     Dm
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Em                          A
Or has time rewritten every line?
Dm                      Em
If we had the chance to do it all again,
         C         F        G
Tell me, would we, could we?
 
C    Em          F             Am  F
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
           Em            E   Am  F
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,
          E            Am   F
We simply choose to forget.
 
            Em    F              Em F
So it's the laugh ter, we will remember
               Em  Am  Dm
Whenever we re-mem-ber
           C    F
The way we were,
    Fm     C    F C
The way we were.
