Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: Verse

Bm        Bm7/E  Em7                Em5-/7
Why did I wander here and there and yonder
D                Em9  D                 G6  A7
Wasting precious time for no reason or rhyme
D          C#7    C7          B7
Isn't it a pity,  Isn't it a crime
E            E9     Em7           Em5-/7
My journey's ended, everything is splendid
D            C#m5-/7
Meeting you today
    F#m       Bm5-/7       B7    E4/7   E7 A7
Has given me a wonderful idea  here  I stay

It's a funny thing
G         C#7 F#m           B7  Em           A7
I look at you,    I get a thrill    I never knew.
D          Bm7  G  D9 A7 Em7 A4/7  D Fdim Em7 G/B A4/7 A7
Isn't it a pity we never met   before

Here we are at last
G            C#7  F#m           B7 Em            A7
It's like a dream,   the two of us    a perfect team

Isn't it a pity we never met   before
Bridge
F#m    C#7 Bm  F#m     Bm7         C#7  C#m5-/7 Bm5-/7
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted
F#m           F#m7     B7
You with the neighbors, I at silly labors
A6    F#m     Bm7 E7
What joys untasted
D9          D6/9  Bm5-/7             A7
You reading Heine, me somewhere in China
D                F#m7
Let's forget the past
G           C#7  F#m              B7 Em                A7
Let's both agree     that I'm for you   and you're for me
D               Bm7     G      D9    Em7 A4/7    D
And it's such a pity we never, never met   before

Bridge
F#m     C#7 Bm  F#m     Bm7         C#7   C#m5-/7  Bm5-/7
Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted
F#m           F#m7    B7
Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon
A6    F#m    Bm7 E7
What joys untasted
D9            D6/9  Bm5-/7             A7
My nights were sour spent with Schopenhauer
D                F#m7
Let's forget the past
G           C#7  F#m              B7 Em                A7
Let's both agree     that I'm for you   and you're for me
D               Bm7     G      D9    Em7 A4/7    D
And it's such a pity we never, never met   before
