Intro: D D7M D6 Fdim F#m F#m7+ F#m7 B7/9- 
               
             A                        F#m 
The night is like a lovely tune  
              D9                E7 
Beware my foolish heart 
              A7M                      F#m 
How white the ever distant moon  
              D9                      E7 
Take care, my foolish heart 
                  A               A7M                A7 
There's a line between love and fascination 
            D             D7M                D6       Fdim                  
That's so hard to see on evenings such as this 
         F#m          F#m7+       F#m7 
For they both give the very same sensation 
                 D9             Bm5-/7            E7 
When you are lost in the magic of a kiss 
          A                               F#m7 
Her lips are much too close to mine  
        D9                     E7 
Beware my foolish heart 
    A7M              F#m 
But should our eager lips combine,  
      D9           A7/13 
Then let the fire start 
E7  F#m          F#m7+      F#m7 Dm6                   
For this time it isn't fascination 
             A                 A7M            F#7 
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart 
      D        B7        D9      Bm5-/7     A    A7M/9 
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart
