E C#m G#m A B
I drove through the desert last night
E C#m G#m A B
I carried the weight of our last fight
E C#m G#m
Elvis singing "Don't be Cruel" and I wonder if you feel it too
A B
It's like we're going under.
C#m F#m G#m
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
A B
The question of my heart came to my mind:
[Chorus]
A E
If I go on with you by my side,
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
[Verse 2]
E C#m G#m A B
Maybe a thief stole your heart
E C#m G#m
Or maybe we just drifted apart.
A B
I remember driving
E C#m G#m
In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood,
A B
Backs against the windshield.
C#m F#m G#m
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
A B
That paradise is buried in the dust.
[Chorus]
A E
If I go on with you by my side,
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)
[Bridge]
F#m C#m
All of our plans are falling through.
F#m B A
Sometimes a dream, it don't come true.
[Instrumental]
A - E - B (x2)
[Verse 3]
A E
Darling. Darling
A
(If we go on can it be)
A E B A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
E B
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
[Chorus]
A E
If I go on with you by my side,
A E B
Can it be the way it was?
A E
My heart is true, girl, it's just you
B
I'm thinking of
A E
Can it be the way it was?
[Outro]
C#m - G#m - A - B
E C#m G#m A B
(Maybe a thief stole your heart.)
