Introd.: Am E7 Am Fdim Bm5-/7 Fdim Am E7 
 
Am            E7     Am          Fdim     Dm7     Bm5-/7 
Over and over, I keep going over the world we knew 
Am         Cdim         Bm5-/7     E7 
Once when you walked beside   me 
E7          Bm5-/7      E7     Fdim       Dm7     Bm5-/7 
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew 
Am      Cdim          E     E7M  E7 
When we two were in love 
E6                 A7M            A6                   Bb9 
And ev'ry bright neon sign     turned into stars 
         A7M                         A6                     Bb9 
And the sun and the moon    seemed to be ours 
       Em         B               Bbm5-/7   Gdim 
Each road that we took turned into gold 
        Em             B                  D9           E7 
But the dream was too much for you to hold 
     Am        E7        Am          Fdim      Dm7        Bm5-/7 
Now over and over, I keep going over the world we knew 
Am        Cdim        E7/9-     Am 
Days when you used to love me 
 
Interlude: Am E7 Am Fdim Dm7 Bm5-/7 Am Cdim Bm5-/7 E7 
 
E6                  A7M            A6                 Bb9 
And ev'ry bright neon sign     turned into stars 
         A7M                       A6                       Bb9 
And the sun and the moon   seemed to be ours 
      Em           B               Bbm5-/7   Gdim 
Each road that we took turned into gold 
         Em                 B             D9              E7 
But the dream was too much for you to hold 
     Am       E7         Am            Fdim         Dm7     Bm5-/7 
Now over and over, I keep going over the world we knew 
Am         Cdim       E7/9-     Am 
Days when you used to love me 
 
Coda: 
Am        E7     Am        Fdim     Bm5-/7  Fdim  Am 
Over and over I keep going over the world   we  knew
