C Dm7 Gm7
[Chorus]
A#sus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7 Gm7
Remember that club where you used to sing?
A#sus2 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]
A#sus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
Was it a drea - - ea - - - eam?
C Dm7 Gm7
I heard that you moved out of range
A#sus2 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 A#sus2
The snow was so thick but everybody came
Fmaj7/A
For the songs that you sang
C
The whole glittering shebang
A#sus2 C7
Oh, I see it all when I hear your name
[Instrumental]
A#sus2 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]
A#sus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7 Gm7
Where have we been?
A#sus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7 Gm7
You were a queen
A#sus2 Fmaj7/A Gm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C Dm7 Gm7
Where have we been?
