Chris Knight - The Band is Playing too Slow
1997 UMG Records, Inc.
Capo 3
D A Em G
It's midnight and music is playing
D A G
It's the same old song every night
D A Em G
The melody is made out of memories
D A G
The words you and I used to write
D A Em G
I paid the band when you left me
D A G
Expecting they'd pack it in
D A Em G
But heartache's a stubborn musician
D A G
And it's playing a waltz that won't end
Chorus
A G
And I can't help but remember you
D A
Morning high midnight low
A7 G
I don't want to dance with your memory
D A
But somehow I can't let you go
A7 G D A Em G D A G
The band is playing too slow
D A Em G
Now I've got to find a new partner
D A G
And get on with my life
D A Em G
But these dreams of moonlight dances with you are still
D
sweet
A G
If a little off time
A G
And I can't help but remember you
D A
Morning high midnight low
A7 G
I don't want to dance with your memory
D A
But somehow I can't let you go
A7 G D A Em G D A G D
The band is playing too slow
