[Verse 1]
G Cm D G
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
G Cm D D7 G
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
G Cm D G
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
G Cm D D7 G
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
G Cm D G
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
G Cm D D7 G
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
G Cm D G
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
G Bm7b5 D D7 G
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
Em Bm7
Oh, expecting to fly
Em Am D
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
G Cm D G
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
G Bm7b5 D D7 G
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

[Bridge]
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
G Cm D G
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
G Cm D D7 G
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
G Cm D G
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
G Bm7b5 D D7 G
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
G Bm7b5 D D7 G
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
[Outro]
