[Chorus]
Absus2 D#maj7/G Fm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
A# Cm7 Fm7
Remember that club where you used to sing?
Absus2 D#maj7/G
Red lampshades in the booths
Fm7
Men whispering untruths
A# Cm7 Fm7
Well, they tore it down in the spring
[Verse 1]
A# Cm7 A#
And I still remember your voice
A# Cm7 Fm7
I see the band playing up there on the stand
A# Cm7 A#
And all the smoke in the light
A# Cm7 Fm7
The music loud and the faces in the crowd
[Chorus]
Absus2 D#maj7/G Fm7
Was it a drea - - ea - - - eam?
A# Cm7 Fm7
I heard that you moved out of range
Absus2 D#maj7/G
Was it something you'd outgrown?
Fm7
Needed something of your own?
A# Cm7 Fm7
I guess, well, everyone's entitled to a change
[Verse 2]
A# Cm7 A#
The crowd has grown older too
A# Cm7 Fm7
But some of them, they still want a piece of you
A# Cm7 A#
They yearn for some golden age
A# Cm7 Fm7
The time that they first heard you from the stage
[Bridge]
D#maj7/G
New Year's Day
Cm7 Absus2
The snow was so thick but everybody came
D#maj7/G
For the songs that you sang
A#
The whole glittering shebang
Absus2 A#7
Oh, I see it all when I hear your name
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A# Cm7 A#
Last night I walked there again
A# Cm7 Fm7
The neon city always ageless and unsung
A# Cm7 A#
The bars spilled onto the street
A# Cm7 Fm7
The music loud, different faces in the crowd
[Chorus]
Absus2 D#maj7/G Fm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
A# Cm7 Fm7
Where have we been?
Absus2 D#maj7/G Fm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
A# Cm7 Fm7
You were a queen
Absus2 D#maj7/G Fm7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
A# Cm7 Fm7
Where have we been?
