   G7       C      C/B        Am7    Am7/G    Dm7      G7    Dm7  G7
I know that someday   you'll want me      to want you,

             C  C/B     C7        F    Bbm7-5   F
When I'm in love   with somebody else.

       G     Cm7-5   G7
You expect me to be true,

     C      C/B    Am7    Am7/G
And keep on loving you,

       D    DM7      D7
Though I am feeling blue;

    G       D7       G7
You think I can't forget you,

      C      C/B       Am7    Am7/G   Dm7      G7  Dm7  G7
Until someday   you'll want me     to want you,

           C     C/B      C7       F    Bbm7-5   F        
When I am strong     for somebody new;

     F                Dm7    Fdim
And though you don't want me now,

C          E7       A7
I'll get along somehow,

           D7    G7    C   (  Fdim(III)  G7   )
And then I won't want you.
