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 Bm7/5-   Cdim         F#m 
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray 
 
        F#m7 A         Bm7          Bm7/5-       E7   Bm7/5- E7 
Than any Russian play could guar - an - tee. 
 
             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 mem'ry of her kiss, 
 
                    Bm7/5-   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 Bm7/5-      Cdim     A        F#m 
I know that love's a  game; I'm puzzled, just the same- 
 
     F#m7    A                       Bm7 Bm7/5-   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 
 
                   Bm7/5-  E7  A 
And there's no not   for me.
