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

[Bridge]
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
F# Bm C# F#
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
F# Bm C# C#7 F#
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
F# Bm C# F#
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
F# Bm7b5 C# C#7 F#
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
F# Bm7b5 C# C#7 F#
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
[Outro]
