What a _ [Ab] _ anniversary, _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ there'd be someone [Cm] else [Eb] where you [Db]
used to _ be. _ _ _
The world don't care, _ and [F] yet [A] it [Bbm] clings to me.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ And the [Gb] moon is _ gold and [Ab] _
[Eb] silvery, _ _ who [Db] knows where _ _ [Ab] the sidewalk ends.
_ _ [C] _ _ Or the road will [Ab] turn and the [Db] road will bend.
_ _ _ They always _ say _ _ [F] he _ _ [Cm] marks [Bb] the _ sparrow's [Ab] _ fall.
_ _ How [Gb] can anyone _ _ _ [Ab] _ believe [Eb] _ it all?
_ Well, _ [Db] the band has [Gb] stopped playing, but we keep [Db] _
[Db] dancing.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] The world keeps turning, _ _ _ _ the world [Gb] keeps _ _ [Ebm] turning.
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] On _ his hand he wore the [Gb] _
ring _ [Db] of another. _ _
_ _ The _ world [Ab] keeps turning, _ _ _ _ the world [Gb] keeps _ turning. _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Broke the bank _ and [Ab] we tore _ up the place. _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ We [Ab] _
disappeared, _ [Eb] oh, [Db] without a _ trace.
_ _ _ _ Now the sun, _ it [F] falls _ _ _ into the [Db] sea.
[Ab] _ _ _ I know [Gb] I'm the _ _ only [Ab] one for me.
_ _ _ I was so [Db] green [Ab] _ and the dress [Gb] you wore [Db] was yellow. _ _
_ _ The [Ab] world keeps turning, _ _ _ the world [Gb] keeps _ [Ebm] turning. _ _
[Db] _ The [Eb] sun is [Ab] down _ and [Gb] the moon is in the [Db] middle. _ _ _ _
[Ab] The world _ keeps turning, _ _ [Bb] _ the world keeps [Gb] _ turning.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] Put _ _ a hat on [Db] your _ head.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Will [Eb] you _ _ paint the whole damn [Ab] town red _ _ with me?
_ _ [Db] Or the [Ab] band has [Gb] stopped playing, [Ab] but we [Db] keep _ dancing. _ _
_ [Ab] The world keeps _ turning, _ _ _ _ the world [Gb] keeps [Ebm] turning.
_ [Db] _ _ _
On his hand [Ab] he wore [Gb] the ring _ of [Db] another.
_ The _ _ [Ab] _ world keeps turning, _ _ [Eb] _
the world [Gb] keeps _ turning.
[Ebm] _ _ [Ab] The world keeps turning, _ _ _ [Bb] _ the world _ [Db] keeps turning.
[Ebm] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] The world keeps _
[Db] turning, _ [Ab] _ _ the world keeps [Gb] _ _ [Db] turning.
