[Chorus]
       Bbsus2  Fmaj7/A   Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
   C              Dm7     Gm7
Remember that club where you used to sing?
     Bbsus2            Fmaj7/A
Red lampshades in the booths
      Gm7
Men whispering untruths
          C         Dm7            Gm7
Well, they tore it down in the spring

[Verse 1]
C                Dm7          C
  And I still remember your voice
C            Dm7         Gm7
  I see the band playing up there on the stand
C               Dm7         C
  And all the smoke in the light
C            Dm7          Gm7
  The music loud and the faces in the crowd

[Chorus]
           Bbsus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
Was it a drea - - ea - - - eam?
   C              Dm7          Gm7
I heard that you moved out of range
        Bbsus2              Fmaj7/A
Was it something you'd outgrown?
        Gm7
Needed something of your own?
               C             Dm7          Gm7
I guess, well, everyone's entitled to a change

[Verse 2]
C                 Dm7         C
  The crowd has grown older too
C               Dm7             Gm7
  But some of them, they still want a piece of you
C                 Dm7         C
  They yearn for some golden age
C                 Dm7        Gm7
  The time that they first heard you from the stage

[Bridge]
            Fmaj7/A
New Year's Day
      Dm7                       Bbsus2
The snow was so thick but everybody came
         Fmaj7/A
For the songs that you sang
            C
The whole glittering shebang
       Bbsus2                      C7
Oh, I see it all when I hear your name

[Instrumental]
Bbsus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
C Dm7 Gm7

[Verse 3]
C               Dm7           C
  Last night I walked there again
C           Dm7        Gm7
  The neon city always ageless and unsung
C                  Dm7         C
  The bars spilled onto the street
C            Dm7             Gm7
  The music loud, different faces in the crowd

[Chorus]
       Bbsus2  Fmaj7/A   Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7                Gm7
      Where have we been?
       Bbsus2  Fmaj7/A   Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7              Gm7
      You were a queen
       Bbsus2  Fmaj7/A   Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7                Gm7
      Where have we been?
Ad lib
