This will make you laugh -- I staked my  dreams on you.

DM7/9     A7sus4    DM7     Em7  Em6  Em7  A9 Em7  A7/9
This will make you laugh -- they nev - er did come true.

I took a chance on the one  ro - mance, and vowed   it couldn't miss.

   E7/9           Cdim     E7/6       Bm7-5 A7                 A7+5
But I should have known to never judge a   heart borrowed kiss.



DM7/9     A7sus4    DM7     Em7  F#m  Em7 A6/7/9    A7/6
This will make you laugh -- I   once be - lieved in you.

DM7/9  A7sus4   DM7  Em7 Em6  Em7  A9  Em7 A7/9
And for all my love, you did - n't see it through.

Of all the fools, I  break the rule;

    D      F#7       B7
I love you still you see,

 G9       Cdim      A7        Em7  Em6 A7  A7sus4 A7 D
This will make you laugh, but it's not fun - ny   to me.
