 G  Cdim Am7  C     Cdim D9     D6  G9           G   Bm7-5  E7-9           
Just for  a thrill, you changed the sunshine to rain;

E7  Cdim Am7  C    Cdim D9     D6  G5    G6   G9  G7  Gm7  
Just for  a thrill, you filled my heart with pain.

   C9     G/B     E7-9      Cdim  G    B7/F#       E7-9     E7
To me you were my pride and joy, but to you, I was merely a toy

  A7       Em7     A7              Em7      D7/9
A plaything   that you could toss around at will.


G  Cdim Am7  C     Cdim D9  D6  G9       G   Bm7-5  E7-9           
Just for a thrill, you made my life one sad song;

E7  Cdim Am7  C    Cdim D9    G5 G6   G9  G7  Gm7  
Just for  a thrill, you just led me along.

   CM7           CM7/6 Cm7-5       Cdim
Although you are free, havin' your fun,

   G         B7/F#     Cdim E7
To me you're still the only one,

       C   C/B     A7/9              Cdim D7/9   G
'Cause you made my heart stand still just for a thrill.
