[Verse 1]
E Am B E
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
E Am B B7 E
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
E Am B E
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
E Am B B7 E
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
E Am B E
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
E Am B B7 E
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
E Am B E
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
E Bm7b5 B B7 E
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
C#m G#m7
Oh, expecting to fly
C#m F#m B
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
E Am B E
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
E Bm7b5 B B7 E
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

[Bridge]
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
E Am B E
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
E Am B B7 E
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
E Am B E
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
E Bm7b5 B B7 E
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
E Bm7b5 B B7 E
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
