Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were

      
 
            Cm7      Em7           Fm7 Am9 Am Fm7 
 Mem'ries light the corners of my mind,
 
     Em7               E7  Am Am+7 Fm7 
 Misty water-colored mem'ries  
 
       E7sus4 E7  Cm7 Am7 Dm7 G7 
 of the way we were.
 
   Cm7      Em7     Fm7       Am9      Am    Fm7  
 Scattered pictures  of the smiles we left behind,
            Em7     E7  Am  Am+7 Fm7     E7sus4 E7 Cm7  C7 
 Smiles we gave to one another  for the way we were.
 
 Bridge:
 
 Fm7                   Em7    Dm7         
 Can it be that it was all so simple then?
 
 Em Em7 A7Sus4 A7
 Or has time rewritten every line?
 
 Dm             Dm+7     Dm7             
 If we had the chance to do it all again,
 
 Em7      Cm7        F       G7 
 Tell me, would we, could we?
 
   Cm7    Em7     Fm7          Am9 Am Fm7 
 Mem'ries  may be beautiful and yet
 
             Em7    E7    Am  Am+7 Fm7 
 What's too painful to re-mem-ber, 
 
         E7sus4   E7    Am7 Am7/G Fm7 
 We simply choose to forget.
 
              Em7     Fm7        Em7   Fm7 
 So it's the laughter  we will remember
 
                Em7 Am7 Dm7 
 Whenever we re-mem-ber 
 
    Dm7/G    Cm7  Fm7 F 
 The way we were, 
 
     Fm      C   Fm7 Cm7 
 The way we were.
