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