Is  this the way     our romance ends?

Fdim       A9      D9      C#m7-5   C#7       F#7     B7
 I got the message when you said we could be friends,

   Gdim      D9  Bm7-5   Cdim    E7-9  E7       D9     A  Edim  D9  E7
My love was true   --  I can't believe     I'm losing you.


F#m E7       AM7 F#m     Fdim    AM7   D9
We played a game,    of give and take,

  Fdim        A9      D9      C#m7-5   C#7     F#7   B7
But I stopped playing when my heart  began to break.

    Gdim   D9  Bm7-5  Cdim    E7-9   D9     Bm7-5   A  Dm6 A
What can I do?      I can't believe     I'm losing you.


 A  AM7  A  A-9   D6  Cdim             Em7
Wish I could e - rase ev' - ry little trace 

   Edim        A-9      D6         Em7  Edim  D6
Of love that's in the heart of me,

Cdim    Bm7-5       F#m   B7      Cdim        F#7
Ev' - ry lit - tle dream, ev' - ry lit - tle scheme, 

    Fdim       F#7   D9    Bm7-5  Cdim E7
Will al - ways be a part of me.



F#m     E7       AM7 F#m    Fdim   AM7   D9
There's nothing left     for me to do,

       Fdim       A9      D9  C#m7-5     C#7        F#7      B7
We've passed the point of no return, and now we're through,

     Gdim       D9  Bm7-5  Cdim     E7-9  D9   Bm7-5  E7  A  C#m7-5 D F#7
It's still too new,      I can't believe    I'm los - ing you.

     F#m       D9  Bm7-5  Cdim     E7-9  D9 Bm7-5  E7  A  
It's still too new,     I can't believe I'm losing you.

Sinatra was notoriously anti-rock -- but the album on which this song was released was evidently an attempt to cross over ever so slightly from the pop standard genre which was so totally his, to make at least a mild appeal to rock music fans. Hardly a rock album, it was at least filled with songs whose arrangements had far more in common with rock era ballads than with pop standards. Some worked better than others; this one wasn't bad.
