E7A Fº A E7 Fº A
I used to visit all the very gay places, those come what may places
E7 A D9 A Cº A7M
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
Fº A7M Fº A7M
To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
E7 A E7 Fº A E7 Fº A
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces with distant gay traces
E7 A D9 A Cº A7M
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
Fº A7M Fº A7M
By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales.
A7 Dm A7 Dm Dm7 Gm Dm
Then you came along with your siren of song to tempt me to madness
A7 Dm A7 Dm Dm7 Gm A
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
Gº Fº
Of a great love for me
Gº Fº E Dm6 F
Ah yes! I was wrong again, I was wrong
Melody

Life is lonely again, and only last year everything seemed so sure
C Bb Fm Bb
Now life is awful again
F Bb6 F BbA C#
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
F B F B Bb
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
Bb Bbm9 Bb Cº Bbm9
All I care is to smile in spite of it
Bb Bbm9 Bb F7 Bb6 F Bb A C#
I'll forget you, I will, while yet you are still burning inside my brain
F Fº Bb F7(13)
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.
Bb9 Cº Bb Gm7 Gº
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
Bb Bbm Cº Bb F7(13)
And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest
F7 Eb E7 F7 F#7 F7 Gº Bb
Of those whose lives are lonely, too
