            Words & Music by Ira Gershwin & Vernon Duke
Not recorded version



[Verse 1]
G            C         Am         Dm7      G7
I've flown around  the world in a plane;
             E     E7       Am       Fm7
I've settled revolutions in Spain;
    C                     Am
The north pole I   have  charted,
    Dm7           F#7      C     Am7  Fm7  G7
But can't get started with you.

[Verse 2]
           C             Am        Dm7      G7
Around the golf  course, I'm under par,
             E     E7       Am       Fm7
And all the movies want me to star;
           C        Am
I've got a house, a show place,
    Dm7     F#7      C     Am7  Fm7  G7
But  I get no place with you.

[Bridge]
          E            A
You're so supreme,    lyrics I write of you,
E       A
Scheme just for a sight of you,
Dm                   D7             G7
Dream both  day and night of you,
          Dm7          G
And what  good does it do?

[Verse 3]
G            C         Am         Dm7      G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short;
             E     E7       Am       Fm7
In England, I'm presented at court,
     C                     Am
But you've got me down-hearted,
         Dm7       F#7           C     Am7  Fm7  G7
'Cause I can't get started with you.

[Instrumental]
C   Am  Dm7  G7
E  E7  Am   Fm7
C     Am
Dm7  F#7 C G7

[Bridge]
          E            A
You're so supreme,    lyrics I write of you,
E       A
Scheme just for a sight of you,
Dm                   D7              G7
Dream both  day and night of you,
          Dm7          G
And what  good does it do?

[Outro]
G            C         Am         Dm7      G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short;
             E     E7       Am       Fm7
In England, I'm presented at court,
     C                     Am
But you've got me down-hearted,
         Dm7        F#7          C     Dm7      G7
'Cause I can't get started with you.
         Dm7        F#7          C
'Cause I can't get started with you.
