F                     C        Gm    Bb
It's midnight and the music is playing
         F         C           Bb
It's the same old song every night
F               C          Gm  Bb    
The melody is  made out of memories
F                 C          Bb
The words you and I used to write
F          C             Gm  Bb
I paid the band when you left me
F          C               Bb
Expecting them to pack it in
F                  C         Gm  Bb
But heartaches's a stubborn musician
         F         C                Bb
And it's playing a waltz that won't end
C                        Bb
And I can't help but remember you
        F             C7
Morning high midnight low
                                Bb
I don't want to dance with your memory
    F                       C7
But somehow I can't let you go
            Bb           F   C  Gm Bb  F  C  Bb
The band is playing too slow
F               C          Gm  Bb
Now I've got to find a new partner
F       C            Bb
And get on with my life
F                   C         Gm Bb                     F
But these dreams of moonlight dances with you are still sweet
     C           Bb
If a little off time
C                        Bb
And I can't help but remember you
        F             C7
Morning high midnight low
                                Bb
I don't want to dance with your memory
    F                       C7
But somehow I can't let you go
            Bb           F   C  Gm Bb  F  C  Bb        F
The band is playing too slow
