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 With love to lead the way Cdim F#m 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 I know that love's a game Cdim A F#m 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
