A  C#7  D9           Cdim     A   C#7  D 
I      wish I didn't love you so 
   Dm6 Bm5-/7  A  F#7 
My love for  you 
  D9        Bm5-/7 Fdim E7 A F#7 D9 E 
Should have faded long ago 
A  C#7  D9           Cdim       A   C#7 D 
I      wish I didn't need your kiss 
    Dm6 Bm5-/7  A   F#7 
Why must your kiss 
Bm   Bm7/E    Dm6 E7  A D9 A 
Torture me as long as this 
 
Bridge 
   A7     Gdim F#7 Gdim F#7 
I might be smiling  by  now 
Edim  Bm       F#7      Bm 
With some new, tender friend 
C#m5-/7    F#7 
Smiling by now 
    E7/9 E7   D9 Bm5-/7 E7    
With my heart on  the mend 
E7  Cdim E  A C#7  
But when I try 
D9              Cdim         A 
Something in my heart says,"No" 
Dm6   Bm5-/7  Fdim 
You're still there 
A  C#7  D9    Dm6    E7  E7/13 A D9   
I      wish I didn't love you so
