[Verse 1]
[D]I u[A]sed[D][Ddim][A]
to visit [G]all the very gay [A]places,
[D]those com[G]e what may[E] places,[G]
where one re[A]laxes on [G]the axis
of the wheel of [Em]life
to get the feel of [D]life
[Fm]from jazz [Ab]and [E]cock[Cm]tails.
The [A]girls I [G]knew had sad
and sullen [A]gray faces[E]
[Em]with dis[A]tant gay [E]traces
[G]that used [A]to be there.
[D]You could see [C]where they've
been washed [Em]away
by [F]too [Bdim]many through [Bm]the day,
12 o 'clock [E]tail.[Ddim]
[Bdim]Then you[Ddim] came a[Dbm]long
with [E]your siren song
[Dbm]to tempt me to madness.
[E]I t[Dbm]hought for a while that
[Dbm]your poignant smile
was [Dbm]tain ted w[A]ith the sadn[Adim]ess of[Cdim]
[D]a great lov[Esus4]e for me.[E][Aaug][A][Bbdim]
[F#]Oh yes, I was wrong
[Gaug]Again, I was w[A]rong[Esus4][D]
[A]Life is lonely [A]again,
and [Bb]only [G]last [A]year everything
seemed [G]so [C]sure.[Cdim]
[D]Now [C]life [A]is awful aga[C]in,[C#m]
a [C#dim]throffle [C]of hea[C#m]rts
[A]could only [Em]be a [F#]bore[C#].
Oh, [Caug]a[C][A][C#aug]
[E]week in [Bdim]Paris
will [E]ease the [Cdim]bite of [F]it [Dm]all.
[F]I c[Bbm]are is[Db] to s[Cm]mile in spite[F#] of
[E]it.[A]
[E]I'll forget [C]you, [G]I w[A]ill,
[E]while yet you[Cm] are stil[Edim]l burni[A]ng [Em]inside
[G]my [C#m]brain.[F#]
[D]Romance is mus[Dm]h,
[Bdim]stifling [C#aug]those who[F] str[D]ive
[Ddim]I live a[E] lus[Em]h lif[D]e in some
[G]small [C#m]town[F#]
[F#]An d[F#m] there I[D]'ll be[Dm] whi[G]le I r[Bdim]ot
[F]with [F#]the rest [E]of those[C]
[Cm]whose lives are [F#]lonely,
[D]too[A].[Dbm]
Thank you.
