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 Bm Em7 A7
A cigar - ette that bears a lipstick's traces,
D Bm Em7 A7
An airline ticket to ro-------mantic places,
D D7 G
And still my heart has wings,
G/F# Em 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 A7
Those stumbling words that told you... what my heart meant,
D D7 G
A fairgrounds ...painted swings,
G/F# Em A7 D
These fool - ish things re - mind me of you
[Verse 3]
G Em G Gm/D
You came, you saw, you conquered me,
D6 Cdim
When you did that to me,
Bb A A7
I, somehow, knew that this had to be
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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
[Verse 6]
G Em G Gm/D
I know... that this... was bound to be,
D6 Cdim
These things have haunted me,
Bb A A7
For you've entirely en - chanted me
[Verse 7]
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 8]
D Bm Em7 A7
The smile of Garbo, when 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
[Verse 9]
G Em G Gm/D
How strange, how sweet, to find you still,
D6 Cdim
These things are dear to me,
Bb A A7
That seem to bring you so near to me
[Verse 10]
D Bm Em7 A7
The scent of smouldering leaves, 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!
