Music & Lyrics by David Pomeranz & Buddy Kaye

Beginning Chords C/F-F-C/D-Dm-F/G-Gm-Bb/C-C-Bb/C-C

F9                              Bb9 Bb     Bb9 Bb-F/A
Candles burning glasses are chilled and soon she’ll be by
Gm     D6/G Gm7            Bb/C    C/F    F     Eb/F
Hope and pray she’ll say that she’s willing to give us another try and I
 Bb9     C/Bb              Am          Dm     Bb    F/A   Gm  Bb/C
If all those plans I’ve made don’t melt the lady’s heart I’ll put on the old 45’s

Chorus

Bb/C            C/F                  C/D Dm
And maybe the old songs will bring back the old  times
Dm          D6/G         Gm           Gm9 D6/G         Eb   C
Maybe the old lines will sound new maybe she’ll lay  her head on my shoulder
C        C/F  F          Cm    Eb/F       Bb9
Maybe old feelings will come through maybe we’ll start to cry and
C/Bb          Am  A7     Dm
Wonder why we ever walked away
Bbm6/Db  C/F F                   Bbm6
Maybe the old songs will bring back the old times and
Bb   F/A Gm Bb/C C/F F-C/D-Dm-F/G-Gm-Bb/C-C-Bb/C-C
Make her want  to   stay

Stanza II
F9                                   Bb9
It’s been too long since I’ve been her face light up
Bb9             Bb-F/A Gm9       D/G
When I come home        It’s been too many
Gm7      Bb/C  C/F   F     Eb   Bb9              C/Bb
Hours I’ve wasted staring at the phone sweet old songs I’m counting on you to
Am7           Dm    Bb    F/A     Gm
Bring her back to me I’m tired of listening alone
