Verse 1:
F      Dm   Gm7                C7
  Some day    when I'm awfully low
F                F7    D7
  When the world    is cold
Gm7             C7
  I will feel a glow
F           F7     F
  Just thinking of you
Gm7            C7         F     Dm7 G7 C7
   And the way you look tonight

Verse 2:
  F     F7     Dm  Dm7
Oh, but you're lovely
Gm7                  C7
  With your smile so   warm
F                   D7
 And your cheeks so soft
Gm7                 C7       F        F7
   There is nothing   for me   but to love you
Gm         C       C7     F    F7 Gm C7
  Just the way you look tonight

Bridge: (Key Change G#)
F         Adim7
With each word
     A#m7       D#7
Your tenderness grows
Cm          Cm7   A#m7   D#7
Tearing my  fear apart
G#       G#7
And that laugh
     C#            D#
That wrinkles your nose
G#         G#7     Gm7   C7
Touches my foolish heart

Verse 3:(Key Change F)
F   Dm    Gm7            C7
Lovely
never never change
F           F7    F    Dm
  Keep that breathless    charm
Gm7                   C7
   Won't you please arrange it
         F    F7 F
'Cause I    love you
Gm7      Gm   C7           F     F7
Just the way    you look tonight
