     E7     A      D      Dm7     A 
They're writing songs of love, but not for me 
 B7         E7       D    A 
A lucky star's above, but not for me 
  A7      D   Bm7  Bm5-/7       Cdim     F#m 
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray 
  F#m7  A      Bm7      Bm5-/7  E7 Bm5-/7 E7 
Than any Russian play could guarantee 
      A     D      Dm7       A 
I was a fool to fall and get that way 
      B7       E7      A         
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also lack-a-day 
  A7     D       Cdim     A       B7 
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss 
         Bm5-/7  E7  A 
I guess she's not  for me 
  E7       A   D      Dm7      A 
She's knocking on a door, but not for me 
         B7     E7     D      A 
She'll plan a two by four, but not for me 
   A7     D   Bm7 Bm5-/7         Cdim    A     F#m 
I know that love's a  game I'm puzzled, just the same 
  F#m7   A           Bm7   Bm5-/7    E7 
Was I a moth or flame  I'm all at sea  
      A      D      Dm7      A 
It all began so well  but what an end 
        B7    E7           A 
This is the time a fellow needs a friend 
   A7   D    Cdim        A       B7 
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot 
       Bm5-/7     E7     A 
And there's no knot for me
