| VERSE (chords keep repeating): |
| A | Dm | E | A | |
| Out in the | shiny night the | rain was softly | falling |
| A | Dm | E | E7 | A | |
| Tracks that ran down the | boulevard had | all been | washed a | way |
| Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling |
| And I remember the times we spent, outside the Sad Café |
| Oh it seemed like a holy place protected by amazing grace |
| We would sing right out loud those things we could not say |
| Thought we could change this world with words like love and freedom |
| And we were part of the lonely crowd outside the Sad Café |
| F#m | C#m7 | |
| Oh expecting to fly |
| F#m | Bm | E | |
| We would me | et on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and | by |
| Verse Chords: |
| Some of our dreams came true and some just passed away |
| And some of them stayed behind inside the Sad Café |

| The clouds roll in |
| Esus4 | E | |
| Hid that | shore |
| Esus4 | E | |
| Now that g | lory train |
| Esus4 | E | |
| It | don't stop here no more |
| Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 | D | |
| Now I look at th | e years gone by an | d wonder at the powers t | hat be |
| Esus4 | E | Esus4 | E | |
| I don't know why fortune | smiles on some an | d lets the rest go fre | e |
| Maybe now that the time has drawn the faces I recall |
| But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all |
| There's no use in asking why, it just turned out that way |
| So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café |
| Why don't you meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café |
