[Ab]
Oh, will you never [Eb] let me be?
[Ab] Oh, will you never set [Cm] me [Fm] free?
[Bb] [Eb] The ties that bound [Ab] us are [F] still around [Bb] us.
There's no [Eb] escape that [Bb] I can see.
[Eb] [G]
[Ebm] And still [Fm] those little [Db] things
[Fm] remain
[Eb] that bring me happiness [Db] or
[C] [B] pain.
[Ab] A [Cm] cigarette that bears [Bbm]
a lipstick's [Db] traces,
[Cm]
an airline ticket to
[Gm] romantic [Eb] places,
[Gb]
and still my heart is [Bbm] blings.
[C] [F] These foolish [Fm] things [D] remind me of [Db] you.
[C] [Db]
[Eb] A tinkling [Cm] piano [Bbm] in the next [Eb] [Db] apartment,
[Cm] those [Fm] stumbling [Cm] words that [Ab] told you what [Eb] my heart [Gb] meant.
A [Ebm] [D] fairground's painted [Bbm] swings,
[C] [Ebm]
these [Fm] foolish things [Eb] remind me [Ab] of you.
[D] [F]
[G] You [A] came,
[D] you [G] saw,
[Cm] you [Eb]
conquered [F] me.
[Db]
[Eb] [Cm] When you [F] did that [Ab] to [G] me,
[Eb] I knew [Gb] somehow [Bbm] this had to [Eb] be.
[Cm] The winds [Fm] of March [Bbm] that make my heart [Eb] a [Db] dancer,
[Fm] a telephone that rings, [D] but [Eb] who's to answer?
[Ebm] Oh, [Dm] how the ghost [Bbm] of you [C] clings,
[E]
these [D] foolish things [G] remind [Ab] me.
[Bb]
[Ab] [Ab] First [Cm] daffodils [Bbm] and long excited [Eb] cables,
[Db]
[Fm] and candle [F] lights on little [Ab] [Eb] corner tables,
[Ab] [Bbm] and still my heart [Db] has [Bb] wings.
[Cm] [F] These foolish [G] things [Bb] remind [Cm] me of you.
[G] [Db] [Fm]
The pocket evening [Bbm] when the bell [Eb] has [G] sounded,
[Cm]
the [Fm] yieldy France [G] with all the [Bb]
[Fm] girls [Eb] around [A] it,
[Gb]
[Abm] the beauty [Fm] that [Db] is springs,
[Cm] these foolish [G] things [Ab] remind me of [D] you.
[G] [Cm]
How strange, [Fm]
how [G] sweet,
to [Cm] find [F] you still.
[Db] [Eb]
[Cm] These things [Fm] are dear to [Gm] me.
[Eb] They seem [Am] to bring [Bbm] you near [Eb] to me.
The [C] sigh of midnight [Bbm] trains and empty [Eb] stations,
[Ab] silk [Fm] stockings thrown aside, [Bb] dance [Eb] invitations.
[Gb] [E] Oh, [Ebm] how the [D] ghost of [Db] you [Bbm]
clings,
[F] these [A] foolish [D] things [Bbm]
remind [Ebm] [Ab] me of [F] you.
[Bbm] [F]
[Fm] Gardenia perfume [Bbm] lingering on [Eb] a pillow,
[Cm] while strawberries [Ab] only seven [Gm] francs [Eb] a kilo,
[F] [Gb] [Ebm] and still my [F] heart [Db] has wings.
[A] These [G] foolish [Gm] things remind me [Db] of you.
[A] [Eb] The [Cm] smile of garble [Bbm] and the scent of [C]
roses,
[Gm] the [Fm] waiters whistling [Bb] as the last [Eb] bar closes,
[Ab] [Ebm] the song [Dm] that [Db] Crosby [Bbm] [C] sings,
[F]
these [Bb] foolish things [Eb] remind [Ab] me of [Cm] you.
[G]
[Cm] How [Fm] strange, how [F] sweet,
[Cm] to [Eb] find [F]
you [Ab] still.
[Db]
[Eb] These [G] things [Fm]
are dear to [G] me.
[Bb] They [A] [Gb] seem to bring [Bbm] you near to [C] me.
[Ab]
[Cm] The scent of [F] smoldering [Bbm] leaves,
the wail [Eb] of [G] [Cm] steamers,
two [Fm] lovers on the [Ab] street [Bb] who walk [Eb] like [Gb] dreamers.
Oh, how the ghost [Db] of you [Fm] clings,
these [F] foolish [Gm]
things [Eb] remind [F]
me [Eb] of [Ab]
you.
