It Happens To Be Me
Words & Music by Sammy Gallop & Arthur Kent
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1954 (#16)
Am7 Cdim G6 Edim
Someone longs for you and your caress;
Am7 Cdim D7 G6 E7
He's learning now how empty arms can be;
C C/B Am7 Cdim G G/F# Bm7-5 E7
Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago --
Am7 D9 Am7 G6
That someone happens to be me.
Am7 Cdim G6 Edim
How he misses you and must confess
C C/B Cdim D7 G6 E7
Without you he's like driftwood on the sea;
C C/B Am7 Cdim G G/F# Bm7-5 E7
He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you --
Am7 D9 Cdim G
That dreamer happens to be me.
G7 C C/B Am7 Cdim G6 G E7
I'll never know just why we part - ed;
C C/B Cdim D7 G
It's more than I can com - pre - hend.
C C/B Am7 Cdim G6 G E7
I only know when you de - part - ed
G/F# Em7sus4 Em B+ A Em7 A7 Cdim D7
You start - ed a night that has no end.
Am7 Cdim G6 Edim
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone,
Am7 Cdim D7 G6 E7
Your heart still haunted by a memory;
C C/B Am7 Cdim G G/F# Bm7-5 E7
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind,
Am7 D9 Cdim G
I hope it happens to be me.
