Verse 1:

         F      Bbm(11)/F*              F        * kbd: Bb-Db-Eb-F
 For a while   to love was all we could do
          F/A      [1: Bb  2: F+/C#]
 We were young and we knew
          Dm9          Bb
 That our eyes   were alive
       Ebmaj7            Gm7/C         C7
 Deep inside we knew our love was true

         F   Bbm(addEb)/F            F
 For a while we paid no mind to the past
 /G /G# F/A          [1: Bb  2: F+/C#]
     We knew love would last
        Dm9               Bb
 Every night   somethin' right
         Gm7/C        C7
 Would invite us to begin the dance

Pre-chorus:

  Bb                 F/A      Dm7
 Somethin' happened along the way
       Gm7                  F   C#m7/F#
 What used to be happy was sad

 Emaj7               D#m7    G#m7
 Somethin' happened along the way
     C#m7                Bmaj7
 And yesterday was all we had

Chorus:

     Cm7   Fm7                Bbm7
 And oh    after the love has gone
 Bbm7/Eb       Eb7    Abm7
 How could you lead me on
   Abm7/Db       Db7  Gbmaj7
 And not let me stay around
 Abm7 Bbm7 Cm7    Fm7                Bbm7
  Oh   oh   oh    after the love has gone
     Bbm7/Eb      Eb7     Abm7
 What used to be right is wrong
    Abm7/Db      Db7    Gbmaj7
 Can love that's lost be found

 1: Gbmaj7 Dbm7/Gb Gm7/C  C7-9
       /      /      /      /
    (found)

 2:  Abm7 Bbm7 Cm7
      Oh   oh   oh      [to coda]

Verse 2:

 For a while   to love each other was all
 We would ever need
 Love was strong   for so long
 Never knew that what was wrong, oh baby

 Wasn't right    we tried to find what we had
 'Til sadness was all
 We shared (we were scared)
 This affair would lead our love in two

  Bb                 F/A      Dm7
 Somethin' happened along the way
 Gm7                   F   B7-5
 Yesterday was all we had

[repeat pre-chorus]

  Oh   oh   oh    after the love has gone
     Ebm7/Ab      Ab7      Dbm7
 What used to be right is wrong
    Dbm7/Gb       Gb7    Cbmaj7
 Can love that's lost be found
