C#                               Fm
I've seen this guy on a Saturday night
D#                     G# 
You're looking good, yeah, you're shining bright
C#                                   Fm
Seen the girls in their high heeled shoes
D#                  G# 
Looking for love, they've got nothing to lose

Seen the boys in their skinny jeans
Acting out, yeah, they're living the dream
Feel the weight here upon my shoulders
The world is spinning as I am getting older

A#m
What happened through these years
C#
All I feel is fear and doubt
A#m
What happened to the confidence
C#
I'm older now

Chorus:
G#
Where did it all go wrong, my love,
       D#
where did we fall apart?
 C#
Summer in the 70s,
living like a king and queen
                         A#m
Looking back on where we are
G#
Where did it all go wrong, my love,
      D#
where did we drift away?
 C#
Walking along the Hudson,
singing you my love song
                    A#m
Never let it fade away

Seen your smile from across that room
All the girls here, they're looking at you
Seen your face under disco lights
The room is spinning but I feel all right

Time will tell if we'll be together
I dreamt about it where it didn't go better
Here I am and there you stand alone,
in the dark, no one to romance

What happened to the girl I was
I stopped believing in it all
I never realised that life would take my all

Chorus

D#
Running down where they twinkle on Broadway
 Fm                  C#
Young and naïve and we were so damn reckless
 D#
Looking through the lovers and
                       Fm   C#
you don't know who you are, are
D#
Now I know that there's nothing I'd change
Fm                    C#
We were running riot, we were playing the game
      D#
True love is only something you hear in the songs
    C#
It doesn't really last that long

Chorus - x2
