[Verse 1]
D Gm A D
Out in the shiny night, the rain was softly falling
D Gm A A7 D
Tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
D Gm A D
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling
D Gm A A7 D
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Café
[Verse 2]
D Gm A D
Oh, it seemed like a holy place, protected by amazing grace
D Gm A A7 D
And we would sing right out loud, the things we could not say
D Gm A D
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
D Bm7b5 A A7 D
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Café
[Chorus]
Bm F#m7
Oh, expecting to fly
Bm Em A
We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
[Verse 3]
D Gm A D
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
D Bm7b5 A A7 D
And some of them stayed behind, inside the Sad Café

[Bridge]
Asus4 A Asus4 A
The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be
Asus4 A Asus4 A
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free
[Verse 4]
D Gm A D
Mmmmmmm Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
D Gm A A7 D
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change at all
D Gm A D
No use in asking why, it just turned out that way
D Bm7b5 A A7 D
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Café
D Bm7b5 A A7 D
Why don't you meet me at midnight, baby, inside the Sad Café
