[D] [Gm]
Oh,
[D] will you never set me [Bm] free?
[E] The [A] ties that bound [D] us are still [G] around [C] us.
There's no [F] escape that [Dm] I [E] can [Dbm] see.
[C] [Gm] [Gbm] [Am]
And still [D] those little things [G] remain
[D]
[G] that [Bm] [A] bring me [E] happiness [A] or pain.
[D]
A cigarette that [Em] bears a [A] lipstick's traces,
[D]
an airline ticket to [Em]
romantic [A] places.

And still my [Em] heart [G] has wings.
These foolish [Em]
things remind me [A] of you.
A [D]
tinkling piano in [Em] the next [A] apartment.
[D]
Those stumbling words that [Em] told you what [A] my heart meant.
[D]
A fairgrounds [G] painted swings.
These [Em] foolish things [A] remind me [D] of you.

Gardenia perfume lingering [Em]

The pocket evening when [Em] the bell [A] has sounded.

These [Em] foolish things [A] remind me [D] of you.
[G]
I know that this was [Gm] bound to be.
[D]
These things [Cm] have haunted me, [Bb] for [Eb] you've entirely [A] enchanted me.
[D]
The sigh of midnight trains [Em] in empty [A] stations.
[D]
Silk stockings thrown [Em] aside and sing [A] invitations.
[D]
Oh, how the ghost [G] of you clings.
These foolish [Em]
things remind [A] me of you.
[D] First afforded deals and long [Em] excited [A] cables.
[D]
And candlelight on little [Em] corner [A] tables.
[D]
And still my [G] heart has wings.
These [Em] foolish things remind me [A] of you.
[D]
The smile of gargle and [Em] the scent [A] of roses.

The waiters whistling as the [Em] lifestyle [A] closes.

The song that [G] Cosby sings.
These [Em] foolish things [A] remind me [D] of you.

The scent of smoldering leaves, [Em] the wail of [A] steamers.
[D]
Two lovers on the street [Em] who walk [A] like dreamers.

Oh, how the ghost [G] of you clings.
These foolish [Em]
things remind me of [A]
you.
Just you.
