 D         DM7       D6       D         A7sus      A7    Em7   A7
Falling in love with love is falling for make - believe;

A7sus       A7      A7sus    A7          DM7  D6  DM7  D6
Falling in love with love is playing the fool.

DM7         D6     DM7    D6       F#7   A6   F#7  A6
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy; 

Fdim        Bm       Em       E7           Em7   G/B  A7sus  A7
Learning to trust is just for children in school. 



D         DM7       D6       D             A7sus      A7    Em7   A7
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full, 

A7sus   A7       A7sus   A7       DM7  D6  DM7  D6
I was unwise with eyes unable to see. 

DM7       D7        DM7        D6         F#7
I fell in love with love, with love ev-er-last-ing, 

B7   Em  Cdim Em7  A7  D  DM7  Em7  A7
But love fell out with me. 



     D         DM7       D6       D             A7sus      A7    Em7   A7
Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full, 


I was unwise with eyes unable to see. 

DM7       D7        DM7        D6         F#7
I fell in love with love, with love ev-er-last-ing, 

B7   Em  Cdim Em7  A7  D  DM7  D6  D9  Em7  A7  D6
But love fell out with me.
