Raise A Glass

Cm6                         Gm9               Gm
Friend, do you remember the time when we were kids?
    Cm6                                   Gm           Gmadd9 Gm       Baug
And all the while, dreams we dreamed, the crazy things we     did
Cm9               Cm               Gm9           Gm
Time and life and circumstance had made us grow apart
    Adim                 Adim/Gb         D        Dsus/E D/Gb
But through all of these somber years, I keep you in my  heart
    Cm7                                Gm7
So, if sometime, you’d like to meet in our old cafe bar
      Cm7                        Gm7                 G5/B
Get a table in the corner by the jukebox in the dark
     Cm7                               Gm7
I’ll pour a little something and we’ll reminiscе away
       Adim                       D           Eb/D    D7
In the middle of a memory, that’s whеn you’ll hear me say


[Chorus]
 N.C.          Gm                 Cm9
“Let’s raise a glass and drink to that
             F                     Bb
Let’s sing a song, a song from the past
      D/A     Gm                 Cm
Let’s raise a glass, two eyes in love
               D7              Gm
‘Cause that is life and how it goes”


[Verse 2]
     Cm6                          Gm9
Now, girl, do you remember summer nights and our first kiss?
  Cm6                               Gm9                 Cm6
A time when life was simple and our innocence was bliss
                                   Gm9
Other lovers through the years had made us drift apart
             Adim                             D            D7
But through promises of fearsome vows, you’re always in my heart
     Cm7                                Gm7
And, if sometime, you’d like to meet in our old cafe bar
      Cm7                        Gm7
Get a table in the corner with a candle in the dark
     Cm7                               Gm7
I’ll pour a little something and we’ll reminisce away
       Adim                       D           Eb/D    D7
In the middle of a memory, that’s when you’ll hear me say


[Chorus]
 N.C.          Gm                 Cm9
“Let’s raise a glass and drink to that
             F7                    Bb
Let’s sing a song, a song from the past
      D/A     Gm                 Cm
Let’s raise a glass, two eyes in love
               D7              Gm
‘Cause that is love and how it goes”

[Verse 3]
    Cm6
And when my story’s over
         Gm9         Gm     Baug
And the final act is played
Cm6
Please don’t cry a tear
              Gm9
Don’t place a flower where I lay
     Cm6                                Gm9
Just pour a little something and go and reminisce away
   Adim                  D       Eb/D     D7
In honor of my memory, I hope to hear you say


[Chorus]
 N.C.          Gm                 Cm9
“Let’s raise a glass and drink to that
             F7                    Bb
Let’s sing a song, a song from the past
      D/A     Gm   G             Cm
Let’s raise a glass, two eyes in love
             D7               Gm
You know the words so here we go!
         Gm           Cm9
La la la la, la la la la!
         F7           Bb
La la la la, la la la la
