[C] A cigarette that [Am] bears a [Dm] lipstick's traces, [G7]
[C] An airline [Am] ticket to ro-[Dm]mantic places, [G7]
[C7] And still my heart has [F] wings, [A7] these foolish [D7] things
re-[Dm]mind me of you, [G7]
[C] A tinkling [Am] piano in the [Dm] next a-[G7]partment,
[C] Those stumbling [Am] words that told you, [Dm] what my [G7] heart meant,
[C] A fairgrounds painted [F] swings, [A7] these foolish [D7] things
[G7] remind me of [C] you! [B7]
[Em] You came, [Am] you [B7] saw, [Em] you conquered [A7] me,
[G] When [Em] you [Am] did that to [D7] me, [G7] I, knew somehow,
[Dm] this had to [G7] be!
[C] The winds of [Am] March that [Dm] make my heart a [G7] dancer,
[C] A telephone [Am] that rings, [Dm] and who's to an-[G7]swer?
[C] Oh, how the ghost of you [F] clings, [A7] these foolish [Dm] things
remind me of [C] you,
[C] Gardenia [Am] perfume lingering [Dm] on a pillow, [G7]
[C] Wild straw-[Am]berries only seven [Dm] francs a [G7] kilo,
[C7] And still my heart has [F] wings, [A7] these foolish [D7] things
re-[Dm]mind me of you, [G7]
[C] The park at [Am] evening when [Dm] the bell has soun-[G7]ded,
[C] The 'Ile de [Am] France' with all the [Dm] girls around [G7] it,
[C] The beauty of [F] spring, [A7] these foolish [Dm] things
re-[G7]mind me of [C] you, [B7]
[Em] I know [Am] that [B7] this [Em] was bound to [A7] be,
[G] These [Em] things [Am] have haunted [D7] me,
[G7] for you've [C#dim] entirely [Dm] en-chanted [G7] me!
[C] The sigh of [Am] midnight trains [Dm] in empty [G7] stations,
[C] Silk stockings [Am] thrown aside, [Dm] dance invi-[G7]tations,
[C] Oh, how the ghost of you [F] clings, [A7] these foolish [Dm] things
remind me of [G7] you,
[C] First daffodils, [Am] and long ex-[Dm]cited [G7] cables,
[C] And candle-[Am]light on little [Dm] corner [G7] tables,
[C] And still my heart has [F] wings, [A7] these foolish [D7] things
re-[Dm]mind me of you, [G7]
[C] The smile of [Am] Garbo, when [Dm] the scent of [G7] roses,
[C] The waiters [Am] whistling as the [Dm] last bar [G7] closes,
[C] The song Crosby [F] sings, [A7] these foolish [Dm] things
[G7] remind me of [C] you,[B7]
[Em] How strange, [Am] how [B7] sweet, [Em] to find you [A7] still,
[G] These [Em] things[Am] are dear to [D7] me,
[G7] that seem [C#dim] to bring [Dm] you so near to [G7] me!
[C] The scent of [Am] smouldering leaves, [Dm] the wail of [G7] steamers,
[C] Two lovers, [Am] on the street, who [Dm] walk like [G7] dreamers,
[C] Oh how the ghost of you [F] clings, [A7] these foolish [D7] things
[G7] remind me of you, [C]
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7]
