But Not For Me

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

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

         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 mem'ry of her kiss,

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

  F#m7    A                 Bm7   Bm7-5   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 ev'ry happy plot ends with a marriage knot

              Bm7-5  E7  A
And there's no knot for me.
