Key: FF

Difficulty: Advanced

Verse 1:
 F7M             G7(b5)
Love is like a never-ending melody
 Gm7Gm7    C9C9       Am7-5  D(b9)
Poets have compared it to a symphony
Gm7Gm7     A7(b9)      D(#9)      D(b9)
A augmentedA symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
 G7G7            Gb7M      Gb7(b5)
But our song of love is slightly out of tune

Verse 2:
F7M               G7(b5)
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
Gm7Gm7       C9C9      Am7-5  D(b9)
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich
 Gm7Gm7         A7(#5)   Dm11Dm11 Dm7Dm7    E7E7
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing

Bridge:
 A7M   A7(#5)   G13G13     Gb7Gb7
Like the bossa nova, love should swing
 A7M     A# diminished A#dim        Bm11Bm11   E7E7
We used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time
 A7M      Am9Am9        Bm11Bm11      Bb7(b5)
Now the song is diff'rent and the words don't even rhyme
C7M         C#dimC#dim    Dm7Dm7         G13G13
'Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon
Gm7Gm7     Ebm6Ebm6 Ab9Ab9       Gm7Gm7      C(b9)
And so what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune

Verse 3:
 F7M                   G7(b5)
Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be
 Gm7Gm7     C7C7       Am7-5     D(b9)
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
 Bb7M       Bbm6Bbm6    Am7Am7      AbdimAbdim
We're bound to get in tune again before too long
 G7G7
There'll be no desafinado
 Gb7M
When your heart belongs to me completely
 G7G7        Gm7Gm7      C7C7
So you won't be slightly out of tune
 F7M    C(b9)    F7M
You'll sing along with me.

Outro:
 G7G7
There'll be no desafinado
 Gb7M
When your heart belongs to me completely
 G7G7        Gm7Gm7      C7C7
So you won't be slightly out of tune
 F7M    C(b9)    F7M
You'll sing along with me.

 F6F6     C(b9)    F7M
You'll sing along with me.
 F6F6     C(b9)    F11F11
You'll sing along with me.
