The Way It Used To Be Chords by Kenny Rogers

[Verse]
A                                   
■ The train is comin' at six oh five
                                         A   
And I'll be gettin' on it to take a long ride
                     Gbm            
Back to an apartment so empty inside
                                      A      
With loneliness the only thing that's waiting
                   D7    G
I bought my ticket today ■
                A      
I just paid for one way
D   Dm            A        E        
The price was too high for returning


[Chorus]
       A                
I have spent all my love
E                      A
Getting none in return ■
         D           A              
I bought a ticket to ■ nowhere today


[Verse]
      A                   
And I still hear her voice
A                      
As it rings in my brain
        A               
Telling me she's in love
       A          
Oh yes well really
                     A     
That she's been hurt before
E7                           
That's what first love is for
        A                           
But now she's found the kind of love
           Dm7         
That she's been needing
      A                    
She's standing there so shy
Dm7                   
Feeling nothing inside


[Chorus]
    A          E                       A    E   
Not seeing the pain my eyes are trying ■ to hide
           A         Dm       A                
For her it ■ was fun but it's all said and done


[Inst]
Gbm7 Dm7 A Dm7 A
■    ■   ■ ■   ■


[Verse]
             Am7                      
No love left in the silence of goodbye
            Am7           
And I still hear her voice
      Am7              
As it rings in my brain
Gbm7             A      
Telling me she's in love
       A          
Oh yes well really
                     A     
That she's been hurt before
A                            
That's what first love is for
    A                               
But now she's found the kind of love
     Amaj7             
That she's been needing


[Chorus]
         D7 Dsus4 A Dm7 Dm A           E            
I bought ■  ■     a ■   ■  ■ ticket to nowhere today
         A           E            
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
         A           E       A    
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
                     E            
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
         A           E            
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
