Chords

Let me tell you You've never seen anything like that library

        Bb/F
So many books, so much marble, so quiet

[Intro]

Bb/F
And suddenly all of my confidence

Dribbled away with a pitiful plop

Bb/F
My head was beginning to swim

                                          Eb/G
And my forehead was covered with cold perspiration

I started to reach for a book And my hand automatically came to a stop

  F7/A
I don't know how long I stood frozen

                            Bb
A victim of panic and mortification

Em7                  A7
Ooh, how I wanted to flee

       Dm7      G7     Cm7
When a kindly voice, a gentle voice

F7          Bb     Bb+   Bb   Bb+   Bb   Bb+   Bb
Whispered, "Pardon me"

[Verse 1]

                   Bb     Bb+
And there was this dear, sweet

Bb      Bb+          Bb      Bb+          Bb
Clearly respectable, thickly bespectacled man

                Bb   Bb+ Bb      Bb+        Ebm7
Who stood by my side and quietly said to me

      Ab7                Ebm Ebm6 Ebm
"Ma'm', don't mean to intrude but I was just

Ebm6       Ebm    Ebm6         Ebm
Wondering are you need of some help"

  Ab7  Dbmaj7  F7    Bbmaj7
I said, "No... yes I am"

[Verse 2]

                 Bb   Bb+  Bb          Bb+
The next thing I know I'm sipping hot chocolate

    Bb         Bb+         Bb                      Bb+
And telling my troubles to Paul whose tender brown eyes

Bb    Bb+     Bb                Eb  Ebdim7
Kept sending compassionate looks

            Bb6/F Bb/F  Cm7/Gb            D7/F# D7/A  Gm
A trip to the li - bra - ry has made a new girl  of  me

           Bb7/C Bb/C  F9                Bb
For suddenly I   can   see, the magic of books

[Verse 3]

  Bb/F
I have to admit in the back of my mind

I was praying he wouldn't get fresh

    Bb/F
And all of the while I was wondering

                              Eb/G
Why an illiterate girl should attract him

Then all of a sudden he said That I couldn't go wrong with 'The Way Of All Flesh'

   F7/A
Of course it's a novel but I didn't know

                             Bb
Or I certainly wouldn't have smacked him

                   Em7                   A7
Well, he gave me a smile that I couldn't resist

      Dm7      G7     Cm7     F7           Bb     Bb+   Bb   Bb+   Bb   Bb+   Bb
And I knew at once how much I liked this optometrist

[Verse 4]

                   Bb    Bb+
You know what this dear, sweet

Bb       Bb+          Bb        Bb+        Bb
Slightly bespectacled gentlemen said to me next?

                 Bb    Bb+  Bb         Bb+
He said he could solve this problem of mine

      Ebm7    Ab7
I said, "How?"

                Ebm  Ebm6  Ebm      Ebm+
He said, if I'd like he'd willingly read to me

Ebm         Ebm6     Ebm       Ab7   Dbmaj7
Some of his favorite things, I said "When?"

F7       Bbmaj7
He said "Now"

[Verse 5]

          Bb       Bb+    Bb      Bb+
His novel approach seamed highly suspicious

    Bb       Bb+       Bb
And possibly dangerous too

Bb+            Bb     Bb+    Bb                       Eb  Ebdim7
I told myself, "Wait, think, dare you go up to his flat?

                Bb6/F  Bb/F Cm7/Gb
What happens if things  go  wrong

             D7/F# D7/A  Gm
It's obvious he's quite strong"

             Bb7/C Bb/C  F9                  Bb    F#7sus
He read to me all night long, now how about that

[Verse 6]

     F#7         B   B+    B6
It's hard to believe how truly

   B7         B6       B+        B
Domestic and happily hopeful I feel

              B    B+
I picture my Paul there

 B6      B7             E6
Reading aloud as I cook

G#dim7/F        G#dim7/F#  G+
As long as he's there to read

        C#m7/G       Eb7/G     G#m7
There's quite a good chance indeed

                  Bmaj7/C#  C#9  F#9            B6
A chance that I'll  ne-     ver need to open a book

[Finale]

               C#9
Unlike someone else

F#9              B9
Someone I dimly recall

D#m7         G#7       C#9      F#7
I know he'll only have eyes for me

               B      B6
My optometrist Paul
