Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: Verse

E7 A            E7      Fdim  A
I used to visit all the very gay places
E7    Fdim       A
Those come what may places
      E7     A    D9     A   Cdim     A7M
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
  Fdim          A7M              Fdim      A7M
To   get   the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
E7   A       E7      Fdim            A
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
      E7    Fdim   A
With distant gay traces
      E7     A        D9         A         Cdim        A7M
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
  Fdim            A7M           Fdim      A7M
By   too   many through the day twelve o'clock tales
A7   Dm       A7             Dm       Dm7      Gm           Dm
Then you came along with your siren of song to tempt me to madness
A7   Dm           A7        Dm           Dm7         Gm              A
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
     Gdim          Fdim
Of a great love for   me
         Gdim Fdim  E          Dm6      F
Ah yes!   I   was wrong again, I was wrong
Melody
A#     Fm       A#            F        A#6  F            A#   A   C#
Life is lonely again, and only last year everything seemed so sure
C    A#     Fm     A#            F              A#6     F        A# A   C#
Now life is awful again, a trough full of hearts could only be a bore
  F        B           F        B      A#                     A#m9        A#      Cdim    A#m9
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it, all I care is to smile in spite of it
A#     A#m9        A#         F7           A#6      F        A#    A   C#
I'll forget you, I will, while yet you are still  burning inside my brain
    F      Fdim                     A#        F7/13
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
   A#9         Cdim         A#   Gm7   Gdim
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
    A#        A#m  Cdim    A#           F7/13
And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest
F7  D#     E7   F7   F#7  F7   Gdim A#
Of those whose lives are lonely,    too
