I'm Through With Love
Words & Music by Matty Malneck, Gus Kahn & Joseph "Fud" Livingston, 1931Recorded by Marilyn Monroe, 1959
From the movie "Some Like It Hot"
AM7 Cdim D9 Bm7-5 E7/6
I'm through with love, I'll never fall again.
Fdim A9 F#7 D6 F#m Dm6
Said adieu to love, don't ever call again.
Fdim A C#m7-5 F#7 Bm7-5 D9 Dm6
For I must have you or no one,
A F#7 B7 E7
And so I'm through with love.
A Cdim D9 Bm7-5 E7/6
I've locked my heart; I'll keep my feelings there.
Fdim A9 F#7 D6 F#m Dm6
I have stocked my heart with icy, frigid air.
Fdim A C#m7-5 F#7 Bm7-5 D9 Dm6
And I mean to care for no one,
A D9 E7/6 A G#7
Because I'm through with love.
Bridge:
C#m Cdim C#m G#7
Why did you lead me to think you could care?
C#m Cdim C#m G#7
You didn't need me, you had your share
E C#7 A9 B7
Of slaves around you to hound you and swear
E Bm7-5 E7/6 Edim E7
With deep emotion and devotion to you.
A Cdim D9 Bm7-5 E7/6
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me;
Fdim A9 F#7 D6 F#m Dm6
It can never bring the thing that used to be.
Fdim A C#m7-5 F#7 Bm7-5 D9 Dm6
For I must have you or no one,
A D9 E7/6 C#m7-5 F#7 D9 Bm7-5 E7/6 A
And so I'm through with love, baby, and so I'm through with love.
The version from which I transcribed this song was a disappointment -- a case where both the singer and the song were better than the combination that resulted. Monroe was a better singer than this recording suggests
