  E7        Bm5-/7   E7  
Don't worry 'bout me      
Fdim       A7M 
I'll get along 
 Bm7      Bm5-/7  
Forget about me      
 E7  Fdim     A6 
Be happy my love 
   D9         
Let's say that  
      Dm6             D9 
Our little show is over 
     Dm6   Fdim 
And so the story ends 
E7 Fdim  A        
Why not call  
          F7     m7     E7 
It a day the sensible way 
  Fdim     E7 
And still be friends 
E7   Fdim E7    Bm5-/7  E7 
No, "Look out for yourself"  
  Fdim A7M 
Should be the rule 
      A7      Em7   A7    G/B  
Give your heart and your love  
 A7  Em7 A7 
To whomever you love  
A7/13- D     D6   A 
Oh, don't be a fool 
    D9                Dm6       
Darling, why should you cling  
 Fdim     A   D9 A 
To some fading thing that used to be 
Gdim Cdim   D9   Bm5-/7   
For if  you can't forget 
 E7     Bm5-/7   E7  A 
Don't worry 'bout me
