[Verse 1]
F A#m C F
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
F A#m C C7 F
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
F A#m C F
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
F A#m C C7 F
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
F A#m C F
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
F A#m C C7 F
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
F A#m C F
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
F Bm7b5 C C7 F
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
Dm Am7
Oh, expecting to fly
Dm Gm C
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
F A#m C F
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
F Bm7b5 C C7 F
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

[Bridge]
Csus4 C Csus4 C
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A#
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Csus4 C Csus4 C
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
F A#m C F
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
F A#m C C7 F
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
F A#m C F
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
F Bm7b5 C C7 F
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
F Bm7b5 C C7 F
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
