[Chorus]
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A# G#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C# D#m7 G#m7
Remember that club where you used to sing?
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A#
Red lampshades in the booths
G#m7
Men whispering untruths
C# D#m7 G#m7
Well, they tore it down in the spring
[Verse 1]
C# D#m7 C#
And I still remember your voice
C# D#m7 G#m7
I see the band playing up there on the stand
C# D#m7 C#
And all the smoke in the light
C# D#m7 G#m7
The music loud and the faces in the crowd
[Chorus]
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A# G#m7
Was it a drea - - ea - - - eam?
C# D#m7 G#m7
I heard that you moved out of range
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A#
Was it something you'd outgrown?
G#m7
Needed something of your own?
C# D#m7 G#m7
I guess, well, everyone's entitled to a change
[Verse 2]
C# D#m7 C#
The crowd has grown older too
C# D#m7 G#m7
But some of them, they still want a piece of you
C# D#m7 C#
They yearn for some golden age
C# D#m7 G#m7
The time that they first heard you from the stage
[Bridge]
F#maj7/A#
New Year's Day
D#m7 Cbsus2
The snow was so thick but everybody came
F#maj7/A#
For the songs that you sang
C#
The whole glittering shebang
Cbsus2 C#7
Oh, I see it all when I hear your name
[Instrumental]
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A# G#m7
C# D#m7 G#m7
[Verse 3]
C# D#m7 C#
Last night I walked there again
C# D#m7 G#m7
The neon city always ageless and unsung
C# D#m7 C#
The bars spilled onto the street
C# D#m7 G#m7
The music loud, different faces in the crowd
[Chorus]
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A# G#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C# D#m7 G#m7
Where have we been?
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A# G#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C# D#m7 G#m7
You were a queen
Cbsus2 F#maj7/A# G#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
C# D#m7 G#m7
Where have we been?
