The Way Things Used to Be

guitar chords lyrics

Peter Salett

G
I've got an old friend
A
Getting married this weekend
C D G A7
It does not seem like I'll be there.
G
But I've been tracing
A
Tryin' to remember

C D G A7
Some of the things we used to care about
C D G
When ya gonna save a corner
Em
of a place I haven't seen?
C D G
When ya gonna have me over?
Em
Like the way things used to be
C D G
The way things used to be
Em C D G A7
The way things used to be

G
I don't want it all back,
A
I don't mind where I'm at
C D G A7
I've been trying to stand tall.
G
But I've been placing
A
So much of my mind's eyes
C D G
Just trying to see over these walls.
A7
I put in front of me
C D G
When ya gonna answer a phone call?
Em
I'll say I'm on your street
C D G
I think we used to laugh Into the morning
Em
The way things used to be
C D G
The way things used to be
Em C D G
The way things used to be
Em D G
Most of the time when it fades away
Em D G Em -> D -> G -> A7
I don't really mind reshaping clay
C D G
I wasn't always such a sucker
Em
It's the sentimental me
C D G
Maybe I'm blowing my cover
Em
But what I wanna see
C D G
Is the way things used to be
Em
between you and me.
C D G
The way things used to be.
