Текст с аккордами

[Вступление]: E  C#m  G#m  A  B (x2)


[Куплет 1]: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:


[Припев]:        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?


[Куплет 2]:E           C#m             G#m   A  B
  Maybe a thief stole your heart
E              B             C#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.


[Припев]:        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)


[Вставка]
F#m                                C#m     B
   All of our plans are falling through.
F#m                                   B    A
   Sometimes a dream, it don't come true.

[Куплет 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?


[Припев]:        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?
