G9         Cmaj7       Am7        Dm7     G7
I've flown around  the world in a plane;

             Bm7 E7 Am7     D13      D9
I've settled revolutions in Spain;

G9             Cmaj7     Am7
The north pole I   have  charted,

    Dm7          G7b9      E7#5      A7b9  D9
But can't get started with you.

[Verse 2]

G7b9       Cmaj7         Am7       Dm7    G7
Around the golf  course, I'm under par,

G7b9        E7     Am7        D13     G7
And all the movies want me to star;

G7b9       Cmaj7         Am7        Dm7
I've got a house, a show place,

A7b9 Dm7      G7b9  Cmaj7
But  I get no place with you.

[Bridge]

Cmaj7     Em9     A9 Em7    A7
You're so supreme,   lyrics I write of you,

Dmaj7
Scheme just for a sight of you,

Dm9                       G9
Dream both  day and night of you,

Em7 Ebdim Dm7          Gsus  G7
And what  good does it do?

[Verse 3]

G7b9        Cmaj7       Am7        Dm7     G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short;

             Bm7 E7 Am7     D13      D9  D7b9
In England, I'm presented at court,

G9             Cmaj7     Am7
But you've got me down-hearted,

    Dm7          G7b9      E7#5      Cmaj7
'Cause I can't get started with you.

Dream both  day and night of you,

Em7 Ebdim Dm7          Gsus
And what  good does it do?

[Outro]

G9         Cmaj7       Am7        Dm7     G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short;

             Bm7 E7 Am7      D13      D9  D7b9
In England, I'm presented at court,

G9             Cmaj7     Am7
But you've got me down-hearted,

    Dm7          G7b9      E7#5
'Cause I can't get started with you.
