That bring me happiness, or pain!
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
A augmentedA cigar - ette that bears a lipstick's traces,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
An airline ticket to ro-------mantic places,

E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
A augmentedA tinkling piano in the next a - partment,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Those stumbling words that told you... what my heart meant,

You came, you saw, you conquered me,
D6D6 
CdimCdim Gm7(type2) A augmentedA A7A7
When you did that to me, I, somehow, knew that this had to be!
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The winds of March that make my... heart a dancer,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
A augmentedA tele - phone that rings, but... who's to answer?
D MajorD D7D7 G+G G+G G/F# E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Gardenia perfume lingering... on a pillow,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Wild strawberries only seven... francs a kilo,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G G+G G/F# E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The 'Ile de France' with all the... girls a - round it,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G G+G G/F# E minorEm A7A7 D MajorD
The beauty that is Spring, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!

I know... that this... was bound to be,
D6D6 CdimCdim Gm7(type2) A augmentedA A7A7
These things have haunted me, for you've entirely en - chanted me!
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The sigh of midnight trains in... empty stations,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance... invi - tations,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G G+G G/F# E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
First daffo - dils, and long ex-----cited cables,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
And candle - light on little... corner tables,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G G+G G/F# E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The smile of Garbo, when the scent of roses,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G G+G G/F# E minorEm A7A7 D MajorD
The song that... Crosby sings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G+G E minorEm G+G Gm9Gm9 Gm(b9) Gm7Gm7
How strange, how sweet, to find you still,
D6D6 CdimCdim Gm7(type2) A augmentedA A7A7
These things are dear to me, that seem to bring you so near to me!
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
The scent of smouldering leaves, the wail of steamers,
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Two lovers, on the street, who... walk like dreamers,
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Oh, how the ghost of you clings,
G+G G/f# E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
These fool - ish things re - mind me of you, just you!
D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7 D MajorD B minorBm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah! (repeat, end on D MajorD)
