These Foolish Things

 
              D6     Bm7                Em9        A7 
A cigarette that bears a lipstick´s traces,  
 
D6          Bm7        E9      A7 
An airline ticket to romantic places, 
 
D9          D7+5      G6  
And still my heart has wings --  
 
B7            E7       A7       Em7    A7 
These foolish things remind me of you. 
 
 
D6           Bm7               Em9      A7 
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,  
 
D6               Bm7                 E9      A7 
Those stumblin´ words that told you what my heart meant,  
 
   D9          D7+5  G6 
A fairground´s faded swings --  
 
 B7            E7     A7        D   C#7    
These foolish things remind me of you. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
F#m7     Bm6    C#9  F#m              F#m7 
You came,   you saw,     you conquered me; 
 
A    F#m7    Bm7     E9 
When you did that to me,  
 
   A7      Cdim     Em7   A7                
I knew somehow this had to be.  
 
 
D6            Bm7                Em9    A7 
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer,  
 
D6                Bm7      E9       A7 
A telephone that rings but who´s to answer?  
 
D9         D7+5        Gm7 
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --  
 
 B7          E7       A7       D    Cdim   Em7   A7 
These foolish things remind me of you.

Bridge 2: 
 
F#m7        Bm6      C#9   F#m           F#m7 
How strange,    how sweet,    to find you still! 
 
A      F#m7      Bm7     E9 
These things are dear to me;  
 
      A7     Cdim      Em7     A7 
They seem to bring you near to me.  
 
 
D6          Bm7               Em9     A7 
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations  
 
D6                      Bm7        E9    A7 
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance in-vi-ta-tions  
 
D9         D7+5        Gm7 
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --  
 
B7            E7     A7        D    G     D 
These foolish things remind me of you.
