The Way It Used To Be by Pet Shop Boys 




     The Way It Used To Be 






[Intro]

F#m   Bm   E   C#7sus4   F#m


[Verse 1]

F#m
I'm here

       Bm
You're there

       E
Come closer

   C#7sus4   F#m
Tonight I'm lonely

F#m
Come here

     Bm
With me

   E
I want it

           C#7sus4  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

          C#7sus4     F#m
I'd still meet you anywhere

F#m
Water under bridge

Bm
Evening after day

E
What is left of love here

     C#7sus4       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


We could do anything

      C#7sus4             F#m
We're fearless when we're young

F#m                        Bm
Under the moon, address unknown

                         E
I can remember nights in Rome


I thought that love would last

   C#7sus4        F#m
A promise set in stone


[Bridge]

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

                              C#7sus4
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


Into a New York zone

     C#7sus4        F#m
Our promise was betrayed


[Pre-instrumental]

F#m                           Bm
I was there caught on Tenth Avenue

                                E
You elsewhere with Culver City blues

                              C#7sus4  F#m
Then and there I knew that I'd lost you


[Instrumental]

F#m   Bm   E   C#7sus4   F#m [twice]


[Chorus]

F#m
What is left of love?

        Bm
Tell me who will even care?

E
So much time has passed

          C#7sus4     F#m
I'd still meet you anywhere

F#m
Water under bridge

Bm
Evening after day

E
What is left of love here

     C#7sus4       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

           C#7sus4   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

          C#7sus4  F#m
The way it used to be
