The old songs (video) (intro) (midi)

D - Bm - Em - A - A7

D G

1. Candles burning, glasses are chilled and soon she’ll be by,

Em G A D C

hope and pray she’ll say that she’s willing to give us another try.

G A F#m Bm

And if all those plans I’ve made don’t melt the lady’s heart,

G D Em - A

I’ll put on the old 45’s.

D Bm

And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times

Em G

maybe the old lines will sound new,

Em A

maybe she’ll lay her head on my shoulder,

D D7

maybe old feelings will come through.

G A F#m F# Bm - G

Maybe we’ll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked away.

D Gm

Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times,

Em A D Bm - Em - A - A7

and make her want to stay. (old times, old times)

D G

2. It’s been too long since I’ve seen her face light up when I come home,

Em G A D C

it’s been too many hours, I’ve wasted staring at the phone.

G A F#m Bm

Sweet old songs I’m counting on you to bring her back to me,

G D Em - A

I’m tired of listening alone.

+ CHORUS ...
