    C - D

 

   C

1.      I seen this guy on a Saturday night,

D

    you're looking good, yeah, you're shining bright.

C

    Seen the girls in their high heeled shoes,

D

    looking for love, they've got nothing to lose.

Am

     What happened through these years ? All I feel is fear and doubt.

       Am

    What happened to the confidence ? I'm older now.

 

G                                                                      D

    Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we fall apart ?

   C

Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen,

 

looking back on where we are.

G                                                                      D

    Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we drift away ?

    C

Walking along thе Hudson, singing you my love song,

  C

never lеt it fade away.

 

     C

2.        Seen your smile from across that room,

D

    all the girls here, they're looking at you.

C

    Seen your face under disco lights,

D

    the room is spinning but I feel all right.

Am

    What happened to the girl I was, I stopped believing in it all.

Am

    I never realised that life would take my all.

 

+  CHORUS

 

    D

+        Running down where they twinkle on Broadway,

      Em                                           C

    young and naïve and we were so damn reckless.

       D                                                                                     Em  C

    Looking through the lovers and you don't know who you are, are.

D

    Now I know that there's nothing I'd change,

    Em                                              C

    we were running riot, we were playing the game.

             D

    True love is only something you hear in the songs,

         C

    it doesn't really last that long.

 

G                                                                      D

    Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we fall apart ?

   C

Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen,

 

looking back on where we are.

G                                                                      D

    Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we drift away ?

    C

Walking along thе Hudson, singing you my love song,

  C                                 - G

never lеt it fade away.
