[Verse 1]
A# D#m F A#
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
A# D#m F F7 A#
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
A# D#m F A#
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
A# D#m F F7 A#
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
A# D#m F A#
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
A# D#m F F7 A#
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
A# D#m F A#
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
A# Bm7b5 F F7 A#
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
Gm Dm7
Oh, expecting to fly
Gm Cm F
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
A# D#m F A#
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
A# Bm7b5 F F7 A#
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

[Bridge]
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
D#sus4 D# D#sus4 D#
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
A# D#m F A#
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
A# D#m F F7 A#
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
A# D#m F A#
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
A# Bm7b5 F F7 A#
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
A# Bm7b5 F F7 A#
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
[Outro]
