Aa

Metronome

Rhythm & accompaniment

| Dm7 | Am7 | A# C |

VERSE

I drove through the desert last night

| A# C |

VERSE

I carried the weight of our last fight

Elvis singing, 'Don't be Cruel'

And I wonder if you feel it too

VERSE

It's like we're going under

Somewhere outside the lonely

Esmeralda County line

The question of my heart came to my mind

CHORUS

If I go on with you by my side

Can it be?

The way it was when we met

Did you forget all about those golden nights?

| Dm7 | Am7 | A# |

VERSE

Maybe a thief stole your heart

| A# C |

VERSE

Or maybe we just drifted

apart I remember

driving in my daddy's car

To the airfield blanket on the hood

Backs against the windshield

Back then this thing was running on

momentum, love and trust

That paradise is buried in the dust

CHORUS

If I go

on with you by my side

Can it be the way it was when

we

met?

Did you forget all about those golden nights?

BRIDGE

(The way it was, it was) all of our plans are falling through

| C |

BRIDGE

Sometimes a dream, it don't come true

| A# | Dm7 | Am7 |

CHORUS

darling, darling

Can it be the way it was when

we

met?

Did you forget all about them golden nights?

If I go on with you by my side

Can it be

The way it was my heart is true

Girl, it's just you

I'm thinking of

Can it be the way it was?

| A# C |

VERSE

Maybe a thief stole your heart
