[Intro]
[E] [-] [C#m] [-] [G#m] [-] [A] [-] [B] [(x2)]
[Verse1]
[E] I drove through the d[C#m]desert last [G#m]night [A] [B]
[E] I carried the w[C#m]weight of our last f[G#m]fight [A] [B]
E[E]Elvis singing "Don't be [C#m]
Cruel" and I wonder [G#m]if you feel it too
It's l[A]like we're going u[B]under.
[C#m] Somewhere outside the l[F#m]lonely Esmeralda County l[G#m]line,
The question of my h[A]heart came to my mi[B]mind:
[Chorus]
If I go [A]on with y[E]you by my side,
Can it [A]be t[E]the way i[B]it was when we [A]met?
Did you fo[E]forget all about those g[B]golden nights?
[Verse2]
[E] Maybe if thi[C#m]thieves stole your h[G#m]heart [A] [B]
[E] Or maybe we [C#m]just drifted a[G#m]apart.
I rem[A]remember dr[B]driving
[E] In my daddy's [C#m]car to the airfield, b[G#m]blanket on the hood,
B[A]Backs against the w[B]windshield.
[C#m] Back then this thing was r[F#m]r
unning on momentum, love and t[G#m]trust.
That paradise is bu[A]buried in the d[B]dust.
[Chorus]
If I go [A]on with y[E]you by my side,
Can it [A]be t[E]the way i[B]it was when we [A]met?
Did you fo[E]forget all about those g[B]golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)
[Bridge]
[F#m] All of our plans are falling th[C#m]through.
[F#m] Sometimes a dream, it don't come t[B]tru[A]rue.
[Instrumental]
[A] [-] [E] [-] [B] [(x2)]
[Verse3]
Darl[A]Darling. D[E]Darling
(If we go on can it [A]be)
Can it [A]be t[E]the way [B]it was when we m[A]met?
Did you fo[E]forget all about them go[B]golden nights?
[Chorus]
If I go [A]on with y[E]you by my side,
Can it [A]be t[E]the way [B]it was?
My heart is t[A]true, girl, it's j[E]just you
I'm thinking [B]of
Can it [A]be the way it w[E]was?
