But Not For Me

E7        A            D         
They're writing songs of love, 
Dm7    A
but not for me;

    B7               E7         
A lucky star's above, but not for 
   D       A
me.

         A7       D   Bm7 
With love to lead the way, I've 
Bm7/5-   Cdim         F#m
found more clouds of gray

        F#m7 A         Bm7       
Than any Russian play could guar 
   Bm7/5-       E7   Bm7/5- E7
- an - tee.

             A       D          
I was a fool to fall and get 
Dm7    A
that way;

                 B7               
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also 
E7            A
lack-a-day!

Although I can't dismiss the 
        A               B7
mem'ry of her kiss,

                    Bm7/5-   E7  A
I guess she's not       for me.



   E7                   A       D
She's knocking on a door, but not
         Dm7     A
 for me;

                    B7       E7   
She'll plan a two by four, but not
      D        A
 for me.

      A7        D   Bm7 Bm7/5-  
I know that love's a  game; I'm 
    Cdim     A        F#m
puzzled, just the same-

     F#m7    A                    
Was I a moth or flame?  I'm all at
   Bm7 Bm7/5-   E7
 sea.

            A         D           
It all began so well...but what an
Dm7      A
 end!

                 B7        E7     
This is the time a fellow needs a 
           A
friend.

             A7     D     Cdim   
When ev'ry happy plot ends with a
                   A        B7
 marriage knot

                   Bm7/5-  E7  A
And there's no not   for me.
