[Intro]
 
F F/A Bb C (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
     F        Bbm/F                 F
For awhile to love was all we could do
        F/A
We were young and we knew
        Dm7        Bbmaj7
And our eyes were alive
       Eb7              C7
Deep inside we knew our love was true
     F        Bbm/F               F
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
        F/A
We knew love would last
      Dm7             Bb
Every night somethin' right
        Gm7/C        C7
Would invite us to begin the dance
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bb/F                F/A      Dm7
Somethin' happened along the way
     Gm7                  F    A/B
What used to be happy was sad
Emaj7                 B/D#     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               Abm7
How could you lead me on
    Abm7/Db          Gbmaj7
And not let me stay around
Abm7 Bbm7 Cm7 Fm7                Bbm7
Oh   oh   oh  after the love has gone
     Bbm7/Eb             Abm7
What used to be right is wrong
    Abm7/Db             Gbmaj7
Can love that's lost be found
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     F        Bbm/F                F
For awhile to love each other with all
         F/A
We would ever need
         Dm7           Bbmaj7
Love was strong for so long
      Eb7
Never knew that what was
C7                   F
Wrong oh baby wasn't right
   Bbm/F                 F
We tried to find what we had
     F/A                Dm7
Till sadness was all we shared
        Bb          Gm7/C                 C7
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bb/F                F/A      Dm7
Somethin' happened along the way
Gm7                  F
Yesterday was all we had
Bb/F                F/A      Dm7
Somethin' happened along the way
     Gm7                 F   A/B
What used to be happy is sad
Emaj7               B/D#     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               Abm7

    Abm7/Db          Gbmaj7
And not let me stay around
Abm7 Bbm7 Cm7 Fm7                Bbm7
Oh   oh   oh  after the love has gone
     Bbm7/Eb             Abm7

Can love that's lost be found

Thank you for posting this song. It is tough to follow though since you wrote the major 7th's to look like minor 7th's. A minor is a lower case m. A major is an upper case M.
