[Verse 1]
D# G#m A# D#
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
D# G#m A# A#7 D#
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
D# G#m A# D#
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
D# G#m A# A#7 D#
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
D# G#m A# D#
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
D# G#m A# A#7 D#
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
D# G#m A# D#
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
D# Bm7b5 A# A#7 D#
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
Cm Gm7
Oh, expecting to fly
Cm Fm A#
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
D# G#m A# D#
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
D# Bm7b5 A# A#7 D#
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

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