It's not Cherie, it's Glor - i - a

She's in your ev' - ry dream.

You try to play       the game of kiss and run a - way,
            Edim A7   D9   D6  D9  Bm  G      
But now you find it's not that way--

Somehow you've changed it seems.

It was just hello - good - bye.
 C#7  Fdim(III)     C#7 Fdim F#m
Wasn't   Car - o - line your last love?

It's a shame you made her cry.

Fdim E7/9  DM7     Bm  Em7 G  G/F#       G/B  A7  D9   D6  D9  Bm Em7
What   a  fool you are -- you gave your heart to Glor - i - a.
       Edim    A7            D9   D6  D9  B7
You're not so smart, 'cause Glor - i - a

Fdim E7/9  DM7     Bm  Em7 G  G/F#       G/B  A7  D9   D6  D9  Bm Em7
What   a  fool you are -- you gave your heart to Glor - i - a.
       Edim    A7            D9   D6  D9  B7
