Capo 2nd fret

Intro :    /         

Verse1

        
Candles burning, 
                 
Glasses are chilled 
                  
And soon, she'll be by... 
                   
Hope and pray she'll say that she's willing 
                        - 
To give us another try... 

Refrain
                          
And if all these plans i made 
                  
Don't melt the lady's heart,
             -                 
I'll put on the old forty-fives... 


Chorus:
             
And maybe the old songs,
/               
Will bring back the old times, 
                     
Maybe the old lines will sound new. 
                       
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder, 
                    
Maybe old feelings will some through... 

Maybe we'll start to cry,
                              
And wonder why...we ever walked away 


Maybe the old songs,
 
Will bring back the old times 
                       -
And make her wanna stay...oh--ohhh 

Verse 2

It's been too long without
                   
Seeing her face light up 
              
When I come home. 
                 
Been to many hours i've waited 
               -
Staring at the phone... 

Refrain:
                  
Sweet old songs I'm counting on you
                  
Bring her back to me...
            -             
I'm tired of listening alone... 



Chorus:

Maybe the old songs, 
Will bring back the old times, 
Maybe the old lines will sound new. 
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder, 
Maybe old feelings will some through... 
Maybe we'll start to cry, 
And wonder why...we ever walked away 

Maybe the old songs, 
Will bring back the old times 
And make her wanna stay...oh--ohhh 

And make her wanna sta---y.
