Chris Knight The Band Is Playing Too Slow
It's midnight and the music is playing
F C Bb
It's the same old song every night
F C Gm Bb
The melody is made out of memories
F C Bb
The words you and I used to write
F C Gm Bb
I paid the band when you left me
F C Bb
Expecting them to pack it in
F C Gm Bb
But heartaches's a stubborn musician
F C Bb
And it's playing a waltz that won't end
C Bb
And I can't help but remember you
F C7
Morning high midnight low
Bb
I don't want to dance with your memory
F C7
But somehow I can't let you go
Bb F C Gm Bb F C Bb
The band is playing too slow
F C Gm Bb
Now I've got to find a new partner
F C Bb
And get on with my life
F C Gm Bb F
But these dreams of moonlight dances with you are still
sweet
C Bb
If a little off time
C Bb
And I can't help but remember you
F C7
Morning high midnight low
Bb
I don't want to dance with your memory
F C7
But somehow I can't let you go
Bb F C Gm Bb F C Bb F
The band is playing too slow
