I've Got You Under My Skin

Words & Music by Cole Porter, 1936
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1956


A7    Em7    A7           DM7      Bm7
I've got you    under my skin;

A7    Em7    A7              DM7         Bm7
I've got you    deep in the heart of me,

D   Em7             A7                DM7          Bm7
So deep in my heart   you're nearly a part of me;

F#m  Em7     A7           DM7      D6
I've got you    under my skin.


A7   Em7      A7             DM7      D6
I've tried so    not to give in;

   Gm6       G/b        A7    C#          DM7    D6
I said to myself, "This affair  never can go so well."

     C#m7-5              F#7                    Fdim     B
But  why should I try to resist, when Darling I know so well

     G6  Gm   A7          DM7       D6
I've got you    under my skin.


     A6                  A7
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might, 

         D      Gdim        D7
For the sake of having you near,

    D6           G                 Gm       
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night 

         D         Cdim         A7
That repeats and repeats in my ear,

            Bm                G     A7        D
"Don't you know, little fool,  you never can win?

Fdim         Em7     G/B      A7       D         A+
Use your mentality  -    wake up to reality."

     D          G               Gm            
But each time I do, just the thought of you

          D     Am       B7
Makes me stop before I begin -

(N.C.)      Em7      A7-9          D      D6
'Cause I've got you      under my skin,

     Em7     G/B A7       D     Gdim    D
I've got you    under my skin.
