Am7 And still those liD7ttle things re - Gmaj7main,
Bm7 E7 Em7 Em7(B5) A7sus4 A7
That bring me happiness, or pain!
D A cigar - eBmtte that bears a liEm7pstick's tA7races,
D An airline tiBmcket to ro--Em7-----mantic plA7aces,
D D7 G G G/F# Em Em7 A7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D A tinkling pBmiano in the Em7next a - paA7rtment,
D Those stumbling wBmords that told you..Em7. what my hA7eart meant,
D D7 G G G/F# Em A7 D
A fairgrounds painted swings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G Em G Gm9 Gm(b9) Gm7
You came, you saw, you conquered me,
D6 Cdim Gm7(type2) A A7
When you did that to me, I, somehow, knew that this had to be!
D The winds of MBmarch that make my.Em7.. heart a daA7ncer,
D A tele - phBmone that rings, but.Em7.. who's to anA7swer?
D D7 G G G/F# Em Em7 A7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D Gardenia peBmrfume lingering..Em7. on a piA7llow,
D Wild strawberries oBmnly seven..Em7. francs a kA7ilo,
D D7 G G G/F# Em Em7 A7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D The park at evBmening when the Em7bell has soA7unded,
D The 'Ile de FrBmance' with all the..Em7. girls a - roA7und it,
D D7 G G G/F# Em A7 D
The beauty that is Spring, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G Em G Gm9 Gm(b9) Gm7
I know... that this... was bound to be,
D6 Cdim Gm7(type2) A A7
These things have haunted me, for you've entirely en - chanted me!
D The sigh of miBmdnight trains in..Em7. empty staA7tions,
D Silk stockings thBmrown aside, dance..Em7. invi - tA7ations,
D D7 G G G/F# Em Em7 A7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D First daffo - dBmils, and long ex--Em7---cited caA7bles,
D And candle - lBmight on little..Em7. corner taA7bles,
D D7 G G G/F# Em Em7 A7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D The smile of GBmarbo, when the sEm7cent of rA7oses,
D The waiters whiBmstling as the Em7last bar cA7loses,
D D7 G G G/F# Em A7 D
The song that... Crosby sings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G Em G Gm9 Gm(b9) Gm7
How strange, how sweet, to find you still,
D6 Cdim Gm7(type2) A A7
These things are dear to me, that seem to bring you so near to me!
D The scent of smouBmldering leaves, the Em7wail of steA7amers,
D Two lovers, Bmon the street, who...Em7 walk like dreA7amers,
D Oh, how the gD7host of you clGings,
These foGol - G/F#ish thiEmngs re - mEm7ind me of A7you, just you!
DAh, Bmah, Em7ah, A7ah! DAh, Bmah, Em7ah, A7ah! (repeat, end on D)
