E7 A D Dm7 A
They're writing songs of love, but not for me;
B7 E7 D A
A lucky star's above, but not for me.
A7 D Bm7 Bm5-/7 Cdim F#m
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray
F#m7 A Bm7 Bm5-/7 E7 Bm5-/7 E7
Than any Russian play could guarantee.
A D Dm7 A
I was a fool to fall and get that way;
B7 E7 A
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also lack-a-day!
A7 D Cdim A B7
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss,
Bm5-/7 E7 A
I guess she's not for me.
E7 A D Dm7 A
She's knocking on a door, but not for me;
B7 E7 D A
She'll plan a two by four, but not for me.
A7 D Bm7 Bm5-/7 Cdim A F#m
I know that love's a game; I'm puzzled, just the same
F#m7 A Bm7 Bm5-/7 E7
Was I a moth or flame? I'm all at sea.
A D Dm7 A
It all began so well but what an end!
B7 E7 A
This is the time a fellow needs a friend.
A7 D Cdim A B7
When ev'ry happy plot ends with a marriage knot
Bm5-/7 E7 A
And there's no knot for me.
