Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (C major) I
used to visit (B flat major) all the very
gay (C major) places
Those come what may places
Where one re (B major) laxes on (D minor) the axis
(B flat major) of the (G minor) wheel of life
(A flat minor) To get (E minor) the feel of (C major) life
From (B major) jazz and cocktails. (D minor)
(D flat major) The girls (C major) I knew had sad (B flat major) and sullen
Verse 2
(C major)
gray faces
With distant gay traces
That (B flat major) used to be there you could see where
they'd been washed (G minor) away
(A flat minor) By too many (G major) through the day (C major)
(D flat major) Twelve (C major) o'clock (D minor) tales. (C major) (G major) (E minor) (D flat major) (C major)
Verse 3
(F major) Then (E minor) you came along with
your siren of song
To tempt me to madness! (B major) (Baug)
(F major) I (E minor) thought for a while that your poignant smile
was tinged with (E flatdim) the sadness
(D minor) Of a (G major) great love for me. (B flat major)
Verse 4
(C major) Ah (D flatdim) yes! I was (D minor) wrong
(A flat major) Again,
(D minor) I was wrong. (G major) (D minor)
Verse 5
(C major) Life (D flat major) is lonely (C major) again,
(D flatdim) And (D flat major) only (C major) last year everything
seemed (E flat major) so sure. (D major) (D flat major)
(C major) Now life (D flat major) is awful (C major) again,
(D flat major) A (C major) troughful of hearts
could (B major) only be (E minor) a bore. (E flat major)
(D major) A (G major) week (D minor) in Paris will ease the bite of it,
(D flat major) All I care (A flat minor) is (D flat major) to smile in spite of it.
Verse 6
(C major) I'll forget (D flat major) you, (C major) I will
(D flat major) While yet (C major) you are still (D minor) burning
(E minor) in side my brain. (A major)
(F major) Romance is mush,
(B flat major) Stifling those who strive. (C major)
I'll (G major) live a (C major) lush life (E minor) in some small (A major) dive
(E minor) And there (F major) I'll (C major) be, (F minor) (E minor) while I rot (A flat major)
(D minor) With the (G major) rest of (E flat major) those whose (D major) lives (D flat major) (C major) are (G flat major) lonely,
(D major) too (E minor) (C major) (B major) (A minor) (C major)
