[Verse 1]
B Em F# B
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
B Em F# F#7 B
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
B Em F# B
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
B Em F# F#7 B
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
B Em F# B
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
B Em F# F#7 B
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
B Em F# B
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
B Bm7b5 F# F#7 B
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
G#m D#m7
Oh, expecting to fly
G#m C#m F#
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
B Em F# B
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
B Bm7b5 F# F#7 B
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

[Bridge]
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Esus4 E Esus4 E
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
B Em F# B
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
B Em F# F#7 B
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
B Em F# B
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
B Bm7b5 F# F#7 B
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
B Bm7b5 F# F#7 B
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
