   Dm
My world is miles of endless roads
      A7
That leaves a trail of broken dreams
 Gm7
"Where have you been?" I hear you say
     A7
I'll meet you at the Blue Cafe
Dm
This is where the one who knows
 A7
Meets the one who doesn't care
    Gm7
The cards of fate the older shows
        A7
To the younger one who dares to take

     Dm        F  Dm   Dm F Dm
The chance of no return

Chorus:
               Dm
Where have you been?
              Gm7
Where are you going to?
         C7
I wanna know what's new?
            F     Em7-5 A7
I wanna go with you
              Dm
What have you seen?
            Gm7
What do you know that's new?
               A7
Where are you going to?
                   Dm     F Dm F Dm
'Cause I wanna go with you

The cost is great, the price is high
Take all you know, and say goodbye
Your innocence, inexperience
Mean nothing now
Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one that does not care
Where have you been?
I hear you say
I'll meet you at the Blue Cafe

Chorus

            Dm F Dm                Dm F Dm
So meet me down    at the Blue Cafe
                 Dm F Dm                Dm F Dm
I said, "Meet me down   at the Blue Cafe"

Chorus

So meet me at the Blue Cafe
