[Verse 1]
A Dm E A
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
A Dm E E7 A
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
A Dm E A
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
A Dm E E7 A
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
A Dm E A
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
A Dm E E7 A
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
A Dm E A
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
A Bm7b5 E E7 A
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
F#m C#m7
Oh, expecting to fly
F#m Bm E
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
A Dm E A
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
A Bm7b5 E E7 A
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café
[Acoustic Solo]

[Bridge]
Esus4 E Esus4 E
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Esus4 E Esus4 E
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Esus4 E Esus4 E
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
A Dm E A
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
A Dm E E7 A
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
A Dm E A
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
A Bm7b5 E E7 A
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
A Bm7b5 E E7 A
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
[Outro]
