Dm7 And still those liG7ttle things re - Cmaj7main,
Em7 G7 Dm7 Dm7(E5) D7sus4 G7
That bring me happiness, or pain!
C A cigar - eAmtte that bears a liDm7pstick's tG7races,
C An airline tiAmcket to ro--Dm7-----mantic plG7aces,
C G7 C C C/F# Am Dm7 G7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
C A tinkling pAmiano in the Dm7next a - paG7rtment,
C Those stumbling wAmords that told you..Dm7. what my hG7eart meant,
C G7 C C C/F# Am G7 C
A fairgrounds painted swings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
C Am C Cm9 Cm(b9) Cm7
You came, you saw, you conquered me,
G6 Fdim Cm7(type2) D G7
When you did that to me, I, somehow, knew that this had to be!
C The winds of MAmarch that make my.Dm7.. heart a daG7ncer,
C A tele - phAmone that rings, but.Dm7.. who's to anG7swer?
C G7 C C C/F# Am Dm7 G7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
C Gardenia peAmrfume lingering..Dm7. on a piG7llow,
C Wild strawberries oAmnly seven..Dm7. francs a kG7ilo,
C G7 C C C/F# Am Dm7 G7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
C The park at evAmening when the Dm7bell has soG7unded,
C The 'Ile de FrAmance' with all the..Dm7. girls a - roG7und it,
C G7 C C C/F# Am G7 C
The beauty that is Spring, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
C Am C Cm9 Cm(b9) Cm7
I know... that this... was bound to be,
G6 Fdim Cm7(type2) D G7
These things have haunted me, for you've entirely en - chanted me!
C The sigh of miAmdnight trains in..Dm7. empty staG7tions,
C Silk stockings thAmrown aside, dance..Dm7. invi - tG7ations,
C G7 C C C/F# Am Dm7 G7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
C First daffo - dAmils, and long ex--Dm7---cited caG7bles,
C And candle - lAmight on little..Dm7. corner taG7bles,
C G7 C C C/F# Am Dm7 G7
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
C The smile of GAmarbo, when the sDm7cent of rG7oses,
C The waiters whiAmstling as the Dm7last bar cG7loses,
C G7 C C C/F# Am G7 C
The song that... Crosby sings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
C Am C Cm9 Cm(b9) Cm7
How strange, how sweet, to find you still,
G6 Fdim Cm7(type2) D G7
These things are dear to me, that seem to bring you so near to me!
C The scent of smouAmldering leaves, the Dm7wail of steG7amers,
C Two lovers, Amon the street, who...Dm7 walk like dreG7amers,
C Oh, how the gG7host of you clCings,
These foCol - C/Bish thAmings re - Dm7mind me ofG7 you, just you!
CAh, Amah, Dm7ah, G7ah! CAh, Amah, Dm7ah, G7ah! (repeat, end on D)
