Foolin' Myself
Words & Music by Jack Lawrence & Peter Tinturin
Recorded by Billie Holiday, 1937
A7 D Fdim
I tell myself I'm through with love,
D F#7 B7
That I'll have nothing more to do with love,
G Edim D B7
I stay away, but every day
G G/F# Em7 G/B A7
I'm just foolin' my - self.
A7 D Fdim
I tell myself that I don't care,
D F#7 Gdim B7
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair,
G Edim D B7
But they all know it isn't so,
Em7 A7/6 D
I'm just foolin' myself.
Edim B7 Gdim B7
And ev'ry time I pass
Cdim Em B7 Em
And see his face in the looking glass,
B7 Em Cdim E7 A7 Cdim A7
I tip my hat and say "How do you do, you fool?
G/B A G/B Cdim A7
You're throwing your life a - way."
A7 D Fdim
I'm acting gay, I'm acting proud,
D F#7 B7
And every time I see you in a crowd,
G Edim D B7
I just want to shout out loud
Em7 A7/6 D
I'm just foolin' myself.
