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

Maybe thieves stole your heart
