[Intro]
 
E - C#m - G#m - A - B (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
E                      C#m        G#m   A B
  I drove through the desert last night
E                C#m                G#m   A B
  I carried the weight of our last fight
 E                      C#m                 G#m
Elvis singing "Don't Be Cruel" and I wonder if you feel it too
      A                B
It's like we're going under.
C#m                       F#m                     G#m
   Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
                    A                 B
The question of my heart came to my mind:
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        A        E
If I go on with you by my side,
       C#m         B             A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
          E                     B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E          C#m              G#m   A B
  Maybe a thief stole your heart
E             B             C#m
  Or maybe we just drifted apart.
     A       B
I remember driving 
E               C#m                   G#m
  In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood, 
 A                 B
Backs against the windshield.
C#m                          F#m                           G#m
   Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
                   A            B
That paradise is buried in the dust.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        A        E
If I go on with you by my side,
       C#m         B             A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
          E                     B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F#m                               C#m   B
   All of our plans are falling through.
F#m                                  B
   Sometimes a dream, it don't come true.
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
A - C#m - B
A - E - B
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    A     E
Darling. Darling
                    A
(If we go on can it be)
       C#m         B             A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
          E                     B
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        A        E
If I go on with you by my side,
       C#m        B
Can it be the way it was?
             A                E
My heart is true, girl, it's just you
             B
I'm thinking of
                      E
Can it be the way it was?
 
 
[Outro]
 
C#m - G#m - A - B
 
E         C#m              G#m  A  B
 (Maybe a thief stole your heart)
 
E - C#m - G#m - A - B (x2)
