[Chorus]
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F D#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
G# A#m7 D#m7
Remember that club where you used to sing?
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F
Red lampshades in the booths
D#m7
Men whispering untruths
G# A#m7 D#m7
Well, they tore it down in the spring
[Verse 1]
G# A#m7 G#
And I still remember your voice
G# A#m7 D#m7
I see the band playing up there on the stand
G# A#m7 G#
And all the smoke in the light
G# A#m7 D#m7
The music loud and the faces in the crowd
[Chorus]
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F D#m7
Was it a drea - - ea - - - eam?
G# A#m7 D#m7
I heard that you moved out of range
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F
Was it something you'd outgrown?
D#m7
Needed something of your own?
G# A#m7 D#m7
I guess, well, everyone's entitled to a change
[Verse 2]
G# A#m7 G#
The crowd has grown older too
G# A#m7 D#m7
But some of them, they still want a piece of you
G# A#m7 G#
They yearn for some golden age
G# A#m7 D#m7
The time that they first heard you from the stage
[Bridge]
C#maj7/F
New Year's Day
A#m7 Gbsus2
The snow was so thick but everybody came
C#maj7/F
For the songs that you sang
G#
The whole glittering shebang
Gbsus2 G#7
Oh, I see it all when I hear your name
[Instrumental]
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F D#m7
G# A#m7 D#m7
[Verse 3]
G# A#m7 G#
Last night I walked there again
G# A#m7 D#m7
The neon city always ageless and unsung
G# A#m7 G#
The bars spilled onto the street
G# A#m7 D#m7
The music loud, different faces in the crowd
[Chorus]
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F D#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
G# A#m7 D#m7
Where have we been?
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F D#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
G# A#m7 D#m7
You were a queen
Gbsus2 C#maj7/F D#m7
Hey, Ire - - - e - - - - ene
G# A#m7 D#m7
Where have we been?
