Key: D
Introduction:
A7 D Em7 A7 D6
My story is much too sad to be told
A7 D A7 D Em7 A7
But practic'ly ev'rything leaves me totally cold
D Em7 A7 F#
The only exception I know is the case
Fº F# Fº A7
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
B7 Em A7 D F#m
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face
Melody
Em7 A7 D F#m
I get no kick from champagne
Em7 A7 D D7+ B7
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
Em7 A7 D6 F#m B7
So tell me, why should it be true
Em7 A7 D F#m
That I get a kick out of you
Em7 A7 D F#m
Some like a bop-type refrain
Em7 A7 D D7+ D6 B7
I'm sure that if I heard even one riff that would
Em7 A7 D6 F#m B7
Bore me terrific'y, too
Em A7 D
Yet I get a kick out of you
Bridge
D7 G E7 C G C G Bm Bm7(5-) Cº B7
I get a kick ev'ry time I see you're standing there before me
Em Cº Em Cº
I get a kick, though it's clear to me
Em E7 Em7 A7
You obviously do not adore me
Em7 A7 D F#m
I get no kick in a plane
Em7 A7 D D9 A7 D6
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
B7 Em7 A7 B7
Is my idea of nothing to do
Em7 A7 F#m B7
Yet I get a kick, you give me a boot
Em7 A7 D
Yes, I get a kick out of you
