[Intro]
A    Dm    E      A
A    Dm    E  E7  A
A    Dm    E      A
A    Dm7   E  E7  A


[Verse 1]
A            Dm           E                   A
  Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
A                      Dm            E            E7      A
  Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
A            Dm            E                    A
  Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
A                    Dm             E          E7     A
  And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café


[Verse 2]
A                      Dm          E             A
  Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
A                   Dm              E             E7        A
  And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
A                     Dm                E                           A
  We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
A                     Bm7b5        E          E7     A
  We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café


[Chorus]
F#m              C#m7
Oh, expecting to fly
         F#m                                              Bm   E
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by


[Verse 3]
A               Dm                E                 A
  Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
A                  Bm7b5          E          E7     A
  And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café


[Acoustic Solo]
A     Dm     E      A
A     Bm7b5  E  E7  A


[Bridge]
    Esus4         E      Esus4    E
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Esus4    E               Esus4              E
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Dsus4                  D                 Dsus4                     D
     Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Esus4                         E              Esus4                   E
     I don't know why fortune smiles on some    and lets the rest go free


[Verse 4]
      A             Dm             E             A
Mmmmmmm   Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
A                            Dm                 E     E7            A
  But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
A           Dm          E                         A
  No use in asking why,   it just turned out that way
A               Bm7b5         E          E7     A
  So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
A                          Bm7b5           E          E7     A
  Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café


[Outro]
