[Intro]
D D6 C9 Oh, will you never let me be? D D6 Bm7 Oh, will you never set me free? E7 A7 D7 G The ties that bound us ...are still a - round us, C9 F E7 There's no es - cape that I can see, Am7 D7 Gmaj7 And still those little things re - main, Bm7 E7 Em7 Gm6/A# A7sus4 A7 That bring me happiness or pain
[Verse 1]
D Bm7 Em7 A7 A cigar - ette that bears a lipstick's traces, D Bm7 Em7 A7 An airline ticket to ro-------mantic places, D D7 G And still my heart has wings, Gm E7 A7 Em7 A7 These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Verse 2]
D Bm Em7 A7 A tinkling piano in the next a - partment, D Bm Em7 Those stumbling words that told you... A7 What my heart meant, D D7 G A fairground's ...painted swings, G/F# Em A7 D These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Bridge 1]
G Em G Gm/D You came, ...you saw, ...you conquered me, D6 Cdim7 When you did that to me, Bb A A7 I, somehow, knew that this had to be
[Verse 3]
D Bm Em7 A7 The winds of March that make my... heart a dancer, D Bm Em7 A7 A tele - phone that rings, but... who's to answer? D D7 G Oh, how the ghost of you clings, G/F# Em Em7 A7 These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Verse 4]
D Bm Em7 A7 Gardenia perfume lingering... on a pillow, D Bm Em7 A7 Wild strawberries only seven... francs a kilo, D D7 G And still my heart has wings, G/F# Em A7 D These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Bridge 2]
G Em G Gm/D I know... that this... was bound to be, D6 Cdim7 These things have haunted me, Bb A A7 For you've entirely en - chanted me
[Verse 5]
D Bm Em7 A7 The sigh of midnight trains in... empty stations, D Bm Em7 A7 Silk stockings thrown aside, dance... invi- tations D D7 G Oh, how the ghost of you clings, G/F# Em Em7 A7 These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Verse 6]
D Bm Em7 A7 The smile of Garbo, and the scent of roses, D Bm Em7 A7 The waiters whistling as the last bar closes, D D7 G The song that... Crosby sings, G/F# Em A7 D These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Bridge 3]
G Em G Gm/D How strange, ...how sweet ...to find you still, D6 Cdim7 These things are dear to me, Bb A A7 That seem to bring you so near to me
[Verse 7]
D Bm The scent of smouldering leaves, Em7 A7 The wail of steamers, D Bm Em7 A7 Two lovers on the street who... walk like dreamers, D D7 G Oh, how the ghost of you clings, G/F# Em Em7 A7 These fool- ish things re- mind me of you, just you!
